dear all,
have u all suddenly started feeling very very heavy & thought that the baby may have dropped?? i had this feeling yesterday & got very scared but i guess it was only my fear & nothing more. Aboli,cha.....since u all have experience, do tell me how does it feel when the baby drops..i've heard that it happens a few days before one goes into labour.Am i right abt this? & how will we know abt this?
Love

Hey Monika,

I do feel the baby heavy, but the actual dropping or descending of the baby into pelvic bone (lightening) I did not feel. I suppose some women can feel it.... I think this can happen a month before or even more. I can quite remember, but I do remember having questions about this. Your doctor can tell you exactly where the baby is when she examines you. When is your next appt?

Whatever the feeling, don't worry...it's all normal.

Cha = ) Essaar replied. Dear monika,

Dont worry, as I have this problem for quite sometime. Even aboli/cha replied to me for the same query.

I spoke to my dr. and she told that its a common phenomenon. In fact its a good sign that your baby is putting weight. Due to the increasing weight, u will feel pressure in the vaginal area. This is what she told me. So dont worry.

For me, it vanished sometime back and is there from yest. you have to put up with it.

As told by aboli, try to do some exercise. i coulndt do it here, as i dont have anybody here to teach yoga. Do go for regular walks. when do u plan to take maternity leave?

Take care,
love
