Hi, this is my 2nd pregnancy and I can’t remember felling like this with my 1st, I’m 27 weeks been the midwife heads right down, I’m suffering with a lot of pressure downstairs and I have noticed it’s all swollen from the pressure my midwife said not to worry but has anyone had baby early with these kind of symptoms I had my 1st slightly early.. TIA 😊

I did with my first. He was fully engaged by 28 weeks. Made getting in and out the car tricky!

I had to go a bit more careful with sitting down and moving as it was uncomfortable, I also lost chunks of my mucus plug every couple of weeks (tmi I'm sorry) and had to go careful when having sex due to the prostaglandin being released can stimulate labour. We had proper sex with him finishing inside on the Friday, lost the rest of my plug over the weekend and then baby came a week early that Wednesday.

Yes I has that after 27 weeks. It looked like my vulva had become saggy and collapsed/ prolapsed. Went back to normal after my baby was born.
