Can anyone tell me if you get a sore pelvic area when the baby drops down? These last couple of days Ive been in agony and have tended to walk around like Ive got a carrot stuck between my legs ... DH says it looks like the baby has dropped and to quote him ... "Im sure if I had a head stuck down there between my legs ... it would hurt" I just wanted to know if this is normal ... before I ring my mw ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

Quite possible that it is baby dropping. I have SPD which is an intense pelvic pain, which is not nice. Check with your midwife, she will be a bit more informative. Maybe you will have your baby before me! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I don't think it would hurt to speak to your MW. I didn't have any pelvic pain when baby started to engage so there's always the chance it's something else?? -------------

If it feels like you have been kicked in the fufu then yes it is most likely the baby engaging. I had this a couple of weeks ago (and still have it!). ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

Thanks ladies ... and yes Topsy that is a brilliant way to describe it! Rang the mw and she assured me that all is normal ... she said the baby is either engaging (which would give me a sore pelvic area as everything stretches to accomodate her - damn I knew she would get her daddys head) the tendons are stretching of there own accord getting reading for the impending arrival. Soak in warm bath tonight for me ..... yay! ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!
