So I'm wondering if my "mom" instinct is right....
Midwife said yesterday at my weekly appointment that baby's head was low. She did use the words engaged, but low. Does this really mean anything at this point in the game? I haven't had a ton of contractions (actually, I don't think I've had any for a few days) and pretty much feel the same I have for a while other than the extra pressure down there from him being so low now.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: So I'm wondering if my "mom" instinct is right....
It could or it couldn't...sorry!!!!
Advice you didn't ask for and definitely don't have to take...you will drive yourself nuts if you look for signs of labor!!!
May's head was low from 36 weeks until 42 weeks when they had to coax her out with candy (or pitocin, whatever).
lol....I think I'm already driving myself nuts! I know, I need to just stop and relax. Seriously, I hoped I wouldn't be one of those girls!
I was blindsided by the fact I was one of those girls! I couldn't believe it! I annoyed myself constantly! I said the entire pregnancy I was going to go late but as soon as I hit full term I timed every twinge and cramp. My Lord.
I don't think it means anything. He could hang out down there for weeks, or he could bounce back up, or maybe you'll go into labor today. Who knows? It's all completely unpredictable.
ETA: However, I think mother's intuition is right more times than not. I had contractions 10 minutes apart for at least 3 hours every evening starting at 38 weeks. I thought I was going into labor every time, even though I was sure I would still be pregnant on my induction date.
Amelia is going to be a big sister!
Ding! Ding! Ding! That's our answer!
That's exciting that he's "engaged" no matter what
You're soooooo close!
I think I'll be one of those girls too. I feel a little more like I'm on the side of going a tad early, but it could just be wishful thinking. I keep telling myself that I'll be going to 42 weeks though because I don't want to be sad when it doesn't happen early and they have to evict her. She has dropped slightly this week and I feel a lot more pressure. I've also been getting these weird shooting sensations down there and have been having a lot more BH's. I feel like I am so close, yet so far!!
i'm still laughing at melissa comparing pitocin to candy, SMH (hehe, just learned it so using it)
hang in there, heather!
i feel like baby e is going to come early... we have chats that he/she can come anytime in march (but not before, lol)
March 17th. Just saying.
(When you first announced your EDD I was like OMG! That's my anniversary!!! And then I remembered that we were all married in March and it's not just my anniversary...it's a lot of people's anniversaries.)
Also, my candy during labor was the epidural. Some days I wish I could just get one for the hell of it. It was so lovely. (And I went into the labor wanting to go naturally...I'm not ashamed.)
Good point, I am very thankful for this
