I have an odd question.
When pregnant with my second, she dropped about 38 weeks, and I felt a lot of pressure till the birth.
When pregnant with my third, she engaged at 0 station at about 30 weeks, and I felt a lot of pressure till the birth.
I am familar with this pressure. Last night was different.
This baby engaged at +1 about 2 weeks ago, and I am 50% effaced. I asked to be checked, since I found out he was at +1 from my midwife's palpation, and I had suspected that I was effacing some, to know to put myself on some limited activity. My midwife also put me on pelvic rest till 37 weeks.
Yesterday I went to the grocery store and the fabric store. I was on my feet for about 2 hours. Later in the evening, I was in the bathrub with my younger 2 daughters, and my body started bearing down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think he dropped to +2 for a little while? I am better today, after laying down for the evening and all night last night.
That bearing down feeling was about the wierdest thing I have ever felt. It was different that the usual baby falling out/bowling ball between my legs feeling. I literally had to concentrate on relaxing my pelvic muscles so I wouldnt push.
Any feedback?
