I was told to do squats to help thin out and get baby to engage. I tried a few earlier today and started feeling a lot more pressure than normal, and tightening along with a lot more movement from my baby. I stopped because this isn't the ideal time that I want to be going into labor but I was just wondering if anyone else tried this and it helped get things started?
