its been nearly 5 years and over 7 years since I was far enough pregnant to remember for absolute sure... but I THINK I remember going through this once the babies engaged.

I had a lot of pressure low down from like 35 weeks on, basically as soon as he was engaged. To me it felt like I had to go number 2... kind of... and strangely enough, that's exactly what the start of my labour felt like. I had a very quick labour as well. 3.5 hours from waking up, to baby in my arms.
I think the baby is ready to come

This describes my last two days. I keep wondering what it means, but no "real" labor yet...who knows??

Only 35 wks here and I have this urge too when I'm using the bathroom. I feel like I could just push the babe out (though obviously I'm not dialated so it wouldn't come out

) Everything feels so heavy and bulging down there, it's quite bizarre.....not sure my other pg's were like this, but I could have just forgotten. Do you think this means our babies will come out easily? I hope so! LOL!

Ah well it is posterior so that does explain things. The urge to push has gone though so maybe it has turned?

Oh, that does make sense. I have the same feelings and could swear that when the baby does come, it is just going to fall right out of me! But posterior babies aren't usually like that, are they?

I'm not 100% sure mine is posterior, but MW says it is very engaged regardless. That made me feel better since they usually have a harder time engaging, right? And I know they are more likely to be overdue because of the lack of pressure on the cervix. Hmmm, is that why it is not coming, despite all my efforts and tons of BH?
