I'm Currently Feeling:  | Baby engaging
OK well I'm quite familiar with the term 'engaged', but I was wondering when the baby's engaged does that mean he's dropping? Everybody says my bump is dropping (and I feel it dropping - fuggen hurts!) but he's not engaging, so is the dropping just my imagination? Or can he drop without engaging? Help somebody!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i think engaging is the technical term for dropping. my baby  has droped and is 3/5ths engaged.
beanie feels really low down and i feel as if he/she is going to drop out of me and i am spending more and more time in the loo now!
i think that is correct!
it is VERY uncomfortable!

I'm Currently Feeling:  | If it feels like you have a baby in your bum he might be moving into position - I've been having a lot of pressure/movements really low, peeing a lot and mine isn't engaged yet either  Not looking forward to how uncomfortable it must be for them to be engaged lol |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Well, 2 weeks ago my baby wasn't engaged but I was feeling soooo uncomfortable down there. Went to m/w yesterday and baby is 3/5 engaged which is weird because I feel much more comfortable and don't feel like there's a baby down there at all! Bizarre but maybe it will happen for you too ? Oh, and Mary, my bump looks a little higher now LO is engaging too....very strange. Did look lower just before it started engaging..maybe it's cos it has a little more room to stretch out now? |
