Might be a stupid question, but while walking around today I felt a VERY uncomfortable pressure feeling almost like a pinch. It could have been pressure on my bladder but was different to the usual way that feels.

So what did it feel like to you? Could this feeling be that?

Yeah that's kind of what it feels like to me...like a pinch, sort of sharp and uncomfortable, makes you walk funny original.gif. Sorry for TMI but for the past couple of days when this bub does it (I assume it's her head) it feels like I'm going to open right up!

Yep - I had this with DD2 from 34 weeks. It got so bad at one stage that I had to stop walking on my way to work one day because it felt like she was going to fall out rolleyes.gif . She was born at 38 weeks.

yep. can generally just mean that you have had a pregnancy before and it is the muscles giving a little.

I had spd and this always happens to me.

When I had ds, i new it meant trouble when I felt like I had to poo but couldnt work out where the pressure was coming from.
Of course I was also having tummy tightenings- babies dont tend to "drop" out without these
