I'm Currently Feeling:  | It could be but it could just be the baby's head down position putting pressure. Its pretty common to have this sensation apparently in this tri. I've been dealing with it for the past few days, its so uncomfy!
I'm sure your doctor will tell you at your next appointment if the baby is engaged or not  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Oh yes, the pressure was pretty evident around that time, feels like your bladder is being squashed and lil one is peaking out your ....your....well you know.
Hope you feel more comfy soon! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | my doctor told me that mine was just because of the babies size. As baby gets bigger and weighs more, it puts more weight on you and causes more pressure.
However, my LO's head is also down really low so that could probably cause some of it too.
Hope your appointment goes well! Good luck! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It could be the head engaging. One way that you can tell when this has happened, is your breathing should suddenly be a lot easier because the pressure has dropped away from your lungs and diaphragm... You might also find that you can eat a bit better, too because your stomach is not so squished >.<
Good luck - let us know what the midwife says! |
