What does lightening feel like?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I'm not sure really what to call it - lightening? I'm already carrying low, so breathing wasn't an issue. But today now I feel like I can't possibly avoid the pregnant waddle. Just yesterday I could walk normal and now I'm swaying side to side. It feels like I have a lot more padding to my inner thighs or something, but of course, its the same as it was yesterday. No pain or anything???
My doula was having me practice squats for labor, and last week baby was already pretty far down, so I wonder if the squats kind of got him farther down?
Does it sound like anything?

I haven't got any advice, but that's kinda how I'm feeling now. I waddle like a goose

It feels like everything gets heavier

At least, that's how it feels to me. Suddenly the weight of the world is on my crotch, and I'm waddling big-time.
