I had the strangest feeling last night. I was pottering about the house making some dinner, clearing out some stuff...nothing major when I started feeling pressure down there...and when I bent over it was just about painful. It was the strangest pressure feeling almost like he was falling out. I stopped what I was doing and watched some tv on all fours and it seemed to ease after that.
Has anyone else felt this before? I'm about 33 weeks now. |

| Is his head moving into the right place? My girl engaged fairly early, and until I got used to it, it felt like she was pushing into my VaJJ (or falling out as you put it) |

Fanny lightning?
Sometimes baby presses on nerves around your cervix when you're further along. Your baby might have started to engage or be shifting around down there. Makes you jump sometimes! |

Busybee a few of us feb girls have noticed this too recently, think it was just last week we were talking about it!
My mw has told me its most likely her getting into position and engaging. I did feel quite odd walking round holding the bottom of my belly worrying she was gonna fall out! lol  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yep thats baby's head engaging. I get that when i squat down now. At 33 weeks it's likely to do that then pop out again so just do what you did ie on hands and knees.
When you're due you'll be wanting that feeling and trying everything to get that pressure on your cervix to get the damned thing out! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

That will be babys head engaging and yep its mighty uncomfy and feels like they are trying to escape, both my kids engaged early and it was hell for the remainder of the pregnancys, but I carry big babys!
I got loads of fanny lightening too(sharp stabbing pains down there). ------------- |
