I posted this in the pregnancy forum too, but I don't usually get very many reply's over there. So hopefully I"m not breaking any rules or anything by putting it here too.

I'm 33 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I have been feeling alot of pressure in my pelvis. Does this mean the baby is dropping? Does that also mean that I'll go into premature labor? I have a doc appt tomorrow, so I'll ask him then, but I thought I'd see what you girls had to say.

Well , the baby is head down and still growing . It could be the baby dropped and it does not mean you will most def. go into early labour. I remember feeling heavy at your stage too!

thanks emma. He's definetly still growing. His legs and feet keep sticking out my sides with lots of force, and it actually kinda hurts. The pressure in my pelvis is just really uncomfortable and hurts a little. My hips feel like they will just burst and my back is a little achy and I waddle when I walk. I sneezed the other day and peed myself (lucky I was at home and not in public)

i only went a little, but it was still embarrassing because my husband saw it. he just laughed though. I told him that he better watch it because he'll get paid back later when the baby pees in his face! Haha

At my daughter's one week appointment, we had to strip her down so that they could weigh her. My husband carried her back into the little room to dress her, she peed all over him!! It was so funny. Very Happy

Your baby can stay low down for many many weeks before labour, which can be slightly uncomfortable
