How does the drop feel?

AquaDementia · Mar 15th, 2008, 18:44 PM

Can anyone describe what the drop/engaging of the baby's head in the pelvis feels like?
I have a lot of pressure "down there" and I am having to go to the bathroom very often now.

Thanks girls.

Sounds like dropping to me.

When I dropped it was a lot of pressure on my pelvis.. walking is actually painful now. I still have a constant pressure.

That's a good sign!

Sounds like your baby could have dropped - I get very bad pressure "down there" and have to go to the bathroom even more often (which I wouldnt have thought was possible before) since my baby dropped.... I also find it a bit easier to breath but wouldnt say it was a massive difference - but baby is very long and likes to spend a lot of time with its bum stuck up in my ribs so that's probaby why

lol

It feels like an amazing breath of fresh air!! LOL. No there is LOTS of pelvic pressure, and pain in my cervix, but I can definitely breath better. When you get a chance, post a before and after pic, usually you can see the difference. I def can, and my LO def likes to stick her bum out at the top of my bump!

Hey BurtonBaby, I posted some pics in the bump thread today and asked if anyone can see a difference.
