Hi moms, quick question:
Lately I've been having a lot of pain/pressure on my pubic bone and a lot of increased pain in my lower back. Should I be concerned? Has baby's dropped?
@mmmirage, they usually stay that late in pregnancy so don't worry, but every now and then you get one that will decide to be difficult. My baby is head down and I'm only 18 weeks. I'm praying he doesnt go breech at the last minute.
Oh my dear! I didn't know they can flip at any time! I was so ecstatic last week at my 31st week appt because the technician said he's already head down. I hope it stays this way. I'm sure they will check when I go into labor. I guess this whole process is unpredictable :/ I'll just pray! Thank u for the info! @junebaby
It doesn't necessarily mean that because they can flip at any time. They usually stay put though later in pregnancy however my youngest son went from breech to head down at 36 weeks. Doesn't effect the labor time either. I've had a baby who was so low the doctor could feel his head and was in labor for 29 hours. Then with my girls I hadn't dropped or anything and had them in 2 and 3 hours. You just never can tell.
@junebaby being crowned at 32 weeks is good right ? Because that means for labor, the baby will already be there and just making its way thru the birth canal.. I guess shorter labor?
yes baby is probably getting crowded and pressing on your pelvis and nerves. might be head down already.
Oh ok thank god! 🙏 my baby was breech at 19 weeks and it scared me but now he's head down, plus very low.. The technician had the ultrasound wand literally on my private part! Lol she said his head is way down there. so I hope he stays like this the next month and a half! He's already 4 lbs so I doubt he will have space to flip back up or to the side. I hope your baby remains like that until the next ultrasound! @junebaby
