On friday i having a cup of tea with a friend when i felt bubs move, and it felt a bit weird, but i didnt really take much notice, but when we stood up i had gone from having a baby bump to having a basket ball and she had most definitley dropped.
i am also noticing braxton hicks contractions a lot more. is this normal for this point in pregnancy, or could i be looking at having an early baby? not concerned just curious ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Possibly your babe just made the big move to get into position... perhaps the weird feeling was her turning around???
I don't think that you will necessarily have an early baby but it's probably good that she is moving down. Makes the labour easier!(Although this isn't based on any medical knowledge! hehe So don't take my word too seriously!) |

certainly feels like she is getting into position, it really feels like a coconut between my legs most the time now, and im starting to get really uncomfortable.
oh well not long to go now, just playing the waiting game ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My babe changed positions quite a lot around the 32-35 week mark - he was constantly changing from anterior to posterior, and the difference was quite noticable - in one position my stomach looked completely different than the other, so maybe that's what's happened to you? -------------

yeah i thought of that, but bubs has been head down for a few weeks now, oh well tomorrow will tell, as i have to have a scan just to check her growth.
so we shall see whether she is head down or not. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
