Hi Ladies can you help with something ive been getting a lot of pressure down below where sometimes it hurts i am also really swallon and i fill like the babys head is about to fall out what dose this mean is this normal???



Debra - 71 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yes its normal. Your baby is dropping and will drop and rise up and down during the day as it settles deeper into a good position. It puts pressure on your cervix and will help with softening and dilation. Read my VIP site for tips on getting labor started, what to pack, managing contractions, breastfeeding and baby care!

athome - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes this is normal following your first pregnancy, very rare for first timers. Its just your body getting everything ready. Bubs wont fall out and believe it or not is not sitting as low as it feels. I used to stop walking and stand with my legs together just in case - but the midwives assured me bubs "falling out" is just wishful thinking LOL.

skittles0607 - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes this is normal. The baby is just getting into position for the big day.

RandiLee - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) The baby's head has dropped...SO it's putting pressure on your pelvis. At least, that's what my doctor said.

christina1984 - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i say the same exact thing all the time. i told my doc and he said its normal but didnt say why it happens. i guess it could be the baby moving or the weight of the uterus or something like that
