Any one know what it feels like

Once baby has started to engage??? I thought little one had turned again until he got the hiccups and normally I only feel them on my bladder but I could feel them strongly on my bowl too. Also had alot of lower kicks they were right up near my ribs before but now the are more to the centre??? Xxx

How far along are you hun? This is my first so not sure how much help I can be, but I've been feeling 'different' lately and wonder if the baby has engaged. I feel more comfortable in one way, can now breathe, which makes me think the baby has moved down and also been getting period like pains. When do you next see your midwife she will be able to tell if the baby is engaged at all xxx

I'm 37 weeks. My hips have been hurting more than normal. And yesterday had more pressure on my bowels but other than that not to much different xxx

When both my boys were engaged I felt kind of heavy in my pelvis! Like Taffyrose said, I felt more comfortable under my ribs as I could finally breathe lol

It's such a strange feeling it's actually quite difficult to explain! Sorry im not much help lol xx

No idea, hun. I feel mostly the same as I have for the last month or so. I get more sharp pains in my bladder now when baby decides to head butt it - or at least I hope that's baby's head! And my hips are aching more at night now but I think that's mostly hormonal. I can't say that my bump has dropped or anything because it's always been really low and hasn't even reached my ribs yet. I had some weird twingey uterus pains last night in bed, though... got me all nervous! I really want to see my MW now to see whether baby is engaging, but I don't see her til next Weds. Impatient! xx

I had some crazy tummy and "lady pains" on Tuesday and since then I have felt heavier down below, so either my Sausage has moved down a bit or my pelvis is getting ready for some action

Gonna hassle my midwife tomorrow about it, so will let you know if it means anything.
