pain, pain, pain :(

What did it feel like when you baby was fully engaged?

I'm only 34 weeks and the past two days i have been getting tons of pressure in my vagina, i have also been getting sharp shooting pains in my cervix. Does this mean my baby is probably engaged?

Or what did it feel like for you when your baby was engaged?

I'm 33 weeks, and I'm dilating and effacing and the little guy is engaged. I literally can't even stand up because of all the pressure. It hurts so much in my pelvis it makes me tear up when I try to walk. It's a TON of pressure. But on the other hand, with DD, I didn't even notice. I felt zero pelvic pressure at all until the pushing stage of labor. Absolutely nothing. And she went to 39 weeks. I have to assume it varies from woman to woman and baby to baby. Get checked out if you're concerned about it.

My tailbone hurt like hell. Like it was being forced back. I could not sit straight up unless it was on a toilet. Omg, I spent the last few weeks sitting on my toilet and a birthing ball. If I sat in the car I had to lay the seat back, and if I sat on my couch I leaned to one side. It was hell. At times she would push on a nerve and I could not move without bawling, and my pain tolerance is freaking impressive. But yeah, for me, her hitting the nerve and pushing down so hard was worse than contractions. Something about bones. Bone pain is the worst for me.   Sorry you are hurting.

Im not really concerned, i would only be concerned if i was contracting which im not, just some braxton hicks every once in a while. I just wasnt sure what it felt like cause with my son he never ecen dropped at all.
I just cant believe how uncomfortable it is when they do, and shes been super low this entire pregnancy so im surprised it has made such a difference!!

yeah the worst part is i feel like shes just gonna fall out or i have to poop all the time lol.
im just glad i have good size hips and am not a really tiny person, i feel like that would make it sou much worse!

I am a big girl every where except my pelvis and hips and I had a big baby. 9lbs 6oz. plus I measured six weeks ahead due to extra fluid. Thankfully I lost weight and didn't gain or I would have been worse.
