    31 wks+1day pregnant and a lot of pressure
    Hi everyone I am 31 weeks and 1 day pregnant and ever since late this afternoon I have been feeling a lot of pressure as if babies head has moved further down! This is my 2nd pregnancy and it didn't happen until I was 38weeks the first time!
    I am worried that baby has dropped to low to early its so uncomfortable when I sit down
    Could babies head be engaging already??
    I have a appointment tomorrow at the hospital so I will be telling them about it
    Thanks in advance!

    It possible that the baby is slowly dropping into position. It is also possible you may have a urinary tract infection.

    Most likely it's just the normal uncomfortableness (is that a word? LOL) of your second pregnancy.

    Every pregnancy is different, just as every baby is different. I would say that it is probably unlikely that she is dropping at this point, but it's best to check with your doctor/midwife to be on the safe side.

    I will let you know tomorrow what the outcome is!
    She does feel low as I feel her kicks now right next to my belly button where as before they were under my ribs.
    I'm so scared I'm going to have her early I had a growth scan which showed her to weigh in at just under 35wks at 30wks and all other measurements were a week ahead!

    As you know, pregnancy is really just a guessing game. You may or may not be further along than you thought.

    Keep me posted though. Good luck to you.
