Pressure in bum area etc!!

[StephanieRhian]

Hey!!
36+3 with first baby!!
My baby was 4/5ths engaged at my M/W appointment last week and since then i've lost the final pieces of my Mucus Plug and i have immense pressure on my Vagina and bottom, and the bit inbetween them (Perineum?) I've also got a back ache and my pelvis aches. I've been feeling more sick lately and braxton hicks are getting stronger so they're like period pains. Is labour near?!

its hard to tell, the pressure you will get as the baby starts to move down so you will feel it alot more, sickness can be a due to change in hormones as ou are in the final stages, bit like in the first stages you have a rush of hormones causing sickness, it could really be anywhere between now or at 42 weeks sorry hun xx

It all sounds promising but i wouldnt pay much attention to the engaged part as they can move again, Alice didn't engage fully until labour the day before she was 3/5. Loosing your plug is a good sign but it could still be some time yet good luck xx
