Weird question about the baby's head

[snailmama]

For the past couple days I have been feeling the baby's head like really low...
like it is going to pop out.
It is painful like when I get out of bed especially.
This is my second.
I have also been a little crampy...
have had a couple painful contractions...
been really hungry and really tired.

any ideas?
this is my 2nd

I don't know if this is common but I felt the same with #2 and the same again now with #3. I dilated over several weeks with #2, walked around at 8-9 cm for three weeks, then had a very fast labour once my waters broke. But I was still 2 weeks overdue, as I had been with #1.

This baby is very low and at times I feel like it's about to pop out - but I felt like that last time for weeks! I've been having regular contractions for two weeks now, but who knows.........I asked my m/w for her opinion this week and she just smiled and shrugged. My dates are very uncertain, so iit could be today, tomorrow, or in 5 or 6 weeks.

It did inspire me to at least pack a basic hospital bag though.

I"m not much use, am I? But I think for most people it's just a guessing game, although someone else may be able to shed more light for you.

I have that feeling too, almost like it is bulging down into my vaginal canal! I also get a sharp stabbing pain from time to time that nearly knocks me out. I have been having contractions that are getting harder and harder for about 2 weeks now, so I know how old that can get!
