Right - a question for the 'old timers' - it may be a bit TMI too, apologies in advance

I am now 32+4 and so far all Bubba's movements have been confined to my bump area IYSWIM.

However, for the last few days it has felt like he is a lot lower down and he is having a poke around my nether regions. I don't really know how to explain it....sometimes if feels like he is pressing something (I don't think it is my bladder) that releases a bit of discharge and other times it is just like he is fiddling and I can feel it in the top of my foof


I guess it is all normal?

Does anybody have a clue what I am waffling about? Is it normal? And does it mean that Bubba is on the move?

oh the kicking your foof (i love that word LOL) is completely normal, a bit uncomfy, but completely normal hun

MW has been, managed to do a sweep and says I'm already 2cm dilated! Sounds like I've got a head start there. Now I need to spend today having a rest, as I didn't manage much sleep last night, and if baby does decide to come along later today I will be too tired to push. Have to say having the sweep was not the most comfortable thing in the world, but it's a means to an end, and I suppose I've got worse to put up with yet :shocked:

I feel the need for more breakfast first though! I know we were talking about having second breakfast earlier in the week, but I think this technically works out as breakfast number 3, as after being awake for 2 hours in the night, my tummy decided it was breakfast time at 3am this morning, and I had to get up for some toast then before I could go back to sleep! Then I had breakfast as normal this morning when DH went to work, and now I'm hungry AGAIN. My body is obviously trying to get it's strength up.

oooo sounds like youre on your way!!! definately eat if you want to, youre going to need all the energy you can get hun x

Thanks bumble - thought so...was just hoping it wasn't a sign that he was making an appearance anytime soon.

Yay - all the ladies behind me in the baby queue won't have to ask embarrassing questions about the baby fiddling with your foof :T



I'm gonna have 2 more slices of toast in support ladybird it could be a long day :rotfl:

I always think of that as baby headbutting me in the cervix - it's a very weird sensation isn't it! I don't think it's anything to worry about, it's just getting a bit more cramped in there now. You might find the baby is starting to engage too, I've definitely felt it more since my bump engaged. I think 34 weeks is about normal for everything to start moving down a bit

God you have just bought back a memory for me, I remeber saying the same sort of thing to my mum about it in Matalan car park when I was pregnant with DS
She had no clue but aske her mate who said it was normal, and the head was probqably engaging, well she shouted it accross the carpark, i could of died :rolleyes:

Sorry slscarborough - did I miss something? Has it progressed? Do you have pains or bleeding?

(OMG - don't mean to sound rude...but you know how easy it is to miss a post when you are reading through.)

Do you think bubs is moving head down and getting himself snug and ready for his arrival, i think i read somewhere it can happen after 30 odd weeks

hiya girls!!

i have been absent since before christmas.....i was finding that my time was dragging in, so thought if i stopped reading about everyone elses pregnancies then mine might feel a bit faster......so, im back again and today is my 1st scan. im so nervous.
Ive been there, done it before with DD, but because this time was so unexpected, i feel really anxious about it.
I have done a urine sample this morning to take with me, but im not sure if i need it or not!?? I know they are gonna take bloods etc......should i do/take anything else!??

I can pop you a couple of slices in the toaster...but I am not sure you will like it, it is hovis seed sensations



Carla - wee and notes and a big full bladder is all I can think of. Good Luck!
