What does it feel like when baby decends down??

[lealea85]

For some reason I always get this pressurised feeling like my Lil one is trying to escape.
Feels like he is pushing down into my pelvic area n it's uncomfy.
Moreso when I get Braxton hicks.... Feels like they are pushing him down.


How do babies know where to go or does the uterus/Braxton hicks push them into place??

Hey! I'm getting pressure down below and stuff at the moment, I'm beginning to wonder if my baby is trying to go head down as I sometimes feel pressure in my bottom and food area! A little uncomfortable but I'm hoping that's what it is! Maybe yours is head down too? X

They know where to go. I havent had any BH but baby is now engaged. Doesnt mean they stay like that all the time. My little one has been popping in and out over last few weeks x

Thanks pudds, I did wonder whether they stay there or just come in and out of that position, at least I know now! X

i think with your first baby once they are engaged they stay engaged its just with pregnacies after they pop in and out x

I've been gettin quite a bit of pressure down there over the last couple of days aswel. Never had it last time but baby was breech so hopin this 1 is head down xx

depends how engaged baby's head was to start with you can still disengage with your first if they are not at least half engaged according to mw.
