Hello all - I am 36+1 and have just come back from the doctors. While I was there I told her I have a constant pressure in my pelvis - it isn't like Braxton Hicks or anything, it is constant and makes it hard to walk, roll over, sit down, stand up.. Etc! I just really wanted to know what I could do to ease it. She said it was a sign the baby was ready to come out, cervix was opening, baby was lower, etc. I said, joking, "Oh God, he's not going to be really early is he" and she said, quite seriously, "Yes, he probably will be - I hope you have your bag packed". She said judging by the size of him he was about 7.5 - 8lb and that when the pelvis pressure begins, it is pretty much any minute now.
REally??? Is this true?? I had sort of been cruising along because all five of my mums babies were late, my sister had one late and one early but the early arrival was due to complications. So I assumed my baby boy would be late. I am freaking out!!!
I am just venting really, as I am really feeling a bit panicked - I realise I haven't really asked for any advice here!
