Braxton Hicks and pelvic area pressure..

Hi mummy's to be:
I'm currently 34wks with bub #4 and I've been having strong but irregular Braxton Hicks for a few weeks now, I also have constant downward pressure in my pelvic region to the point where I think she's just going to pop out..lol.. Just wondering if anyone else has been feeling this pressure?.. xx

I'm a ftm and almost 31wks, I have been experiencing the worst Braxton Hicks ever! Up until now I was just having the pain in my back and lower abdomen region, however tonight I started getting lots of pain and pressure in my pelvic area and thinking that my Lil boy would just pop right out!

Thanks for the reply.. Bub is head down and sitting very low and forward, she's been sitting this way for a couple of weeks now.. It's been 8yrs since I was last pregnant and just can't remember feeling this way.. I had an ultrasound at 33wks and she's sitting that low they couldn't see my cervix, she's weighing a healthy 4pound and measuring all within normal ranges.. :-)

I had her 3 weeks early tho bc I had no room left so that doesn't mean you will have an early baby. Her head dropped as low as could go weeks before I had her too so the pressure gradually increased. I was dilated 3cm for a month before I even had her. When I finally felt I was sitting on her head and couldn't sit comfortably I had her within a week
