For the past week now my bump has been alot softer during the day and especially when i get up in the morning! its as if hes not in there anymore or if ive shrunk him! movements have changed to hes getting lazy (unless i eat too much, which i can now do yay) lol. He is engaged 4/5 , well he was on monday! hope hes stayed there or gone further down. but has anyone else experienced this??

You know what!

Its almost as if you just somehow read my mind by submitting this questions as I feel the same way.

Im now just coming into my 38th week of pregnancy & although this baby has seemed to be quite low ( compared to my 1st pregnancy) it just seems as if "she" almost disappeared in the last few days. :)

I know it sounds daft but how do babies manage to squeeze themselves down there?

When I was in the bath this morning i had a good look at my bump & giggled to myself because i was sure i could see her toes or ankles having a Lil' wriggle.

as I'm at 36 weeks tomorrow and feeling like a gigantic whale, you ladies gave me something to look forward to! particularly eating a massive meal! xx

Funny enough I still struggle a bit to eat a large meal as "nausea" was making a Lil' comeback & didn't want to risk it as I hate being sick.

(Sorry Im not helping much am I :) )
