Pressure really low down

[Solo]

Hi ladies
I have been feeling lots of pressure in my lady bits for the past 2 or 3 days - really low down. I can feel it more when I'm walking around. It feels like I'm desperate for a wee and I'm carrying a brick inside me .... anyone know what this is? Surely it won't be the baby engaging already will it?????
Thanks for your time xxx

Is this your first baby? - First baby's do tend to get into position early and engage, so it is possible. I definitely felt a lot of pressure on my bladder when my babies dropped, but it was a lot earlier with my first child.
-Equally if the baby is lying in a funny position, it could be on a nerve and that can feel like the baby is really pressing on something.

It's wierd because I've never felt any different from when Evie's been engaged and when she isn't As far as I know, she's not engaged at the moment, but she was for a few weeks and couldn't tell you the difference so I don't know!! Not much help..!

It could be baby engaging, because they can always pop back out again? Whatever it is, it's very normal, a lot of women get this in 3rd tri xx

Hmm its hard to say because theres a diff between babys head being down (You get preassure then) and baby's head being engaged...

Also take into account position, and babys weight...

Either way the pressure is normal, i have found it has gotten worse recently...
