    Baby turned and feeling pressure
    What to do when it feels like my baby turned downwards and I feel a lot of pressure down the front of my belly and in my pelvic, I don't feel my baby moving as much I did before, she was very active. I'm 7 months, they say but I think I might be longer. This is my first child. I do feel her move in my pelvic and then up at my ribs. The pressure gets stronger when I stand and its somewhat hard to walk around. What should I do?

    Take it easy. There really is not too much that you can do, the pressure is normal, if you do have concerns talk to your OB. As your baby gets bigger, you may not notice as many movements, this happened to me, but instead I would see a lump come out of my belly or little pokes from tiny fingers. :)

    That type of pressure at 7 months is completely normal. I have a 3 year old and am pregnant with my second. My first baby turned around at around 6 1/2 months and put his feet right up into my ribs. Hurt like Hell! Lol. The baby won't really kick as much since he or she is getting bigger with less room to move around. You will get a lot of pushing and rolling movements go around your belly. My son would turn around and you could see his little butt go all the way from one side of my belly to the other. Looked pretty crazy. Try to just take it easy. Your almost there!!

    That is true, your baby does not have much room to move around anymore, you will still see your baby move around just not as frequent, this is perfectly normal, at your next OB appointment talk to your dr about your concerns, he/she may be able to help you understand what your baby is going through right now, the pressure is very common with the baby turning himself/herself around getting into position, your baby will do this as he/she is preparing to come out, this does not mean that you will be in labor soon, every baby is different and some will go into position and then come back out of position for a little while and then go back into position, its all up to the baby, lol so its nothing to worry about, this is all common but like I said, if you are still concerned about it, speak with your dr for more assistance and they can examine and tell you more information
