I need a vodka
I was thinking that earlier after my day, we will go out for a drink when you've popped that sprog Im going to have a orange reef instead, that has vodka in it
Is he not engaged at all? Second babies don't dive into place until they wanna come out! Mines been 2/5 engaged since 35 weeks so he decided to do it a bit early (uncommonly) but he's still not fully engaged. That foof pain appears to be quite common and I've had it in the last couple of days, but mw told me its often the babys head pushing down and can spark of attacks of spd down there. Your not alone there hun!
Mine was only 1/5 engaged at 39+5 and this is my first. Most first babies do engage early but some just like to take their time. I asked the same question and apparently it bears no relation on when you'll actually go into labour.
