TMI but wondering if Im going to have this baby too early
Im 27 weeks pregnant. Yesterday i noticed that it looks like my baby has dropped already. I have 2 other children, neither or which dropped till the last month before delivery. Right before this baby I had a leap procedure done and I was told they'd be keeping an eye on me to make sure I dont go into preterm labor as a leap procedure weakens the cervix.
I've been having a real difficult time getting around lately.. more like a 9 month pregnant lady and not like a 27 week pregnancy. I have sooo much pressure down there, I actually just checked to make sure I didnt have an arm or a leg hanging out of me when I went to the bathroom. No arms or legs hanging out, but my vagina feels like its completely puffed out like my parts are trying to get me ready to deliver this.... I never had to check with my other kids, so I dont know how normal it is to have a swollen vagina at 27 weeks pregnant. Please advise.... Im wondering if I need to go to my OB and get checked out. Please and thanks ladies!!!
I have no clue, but if it makes you feel better i would go in....worst thing they say is you are fine go home.
i think you may be feeling like this since its your 3rd baby....with my 3rd, things got worse sooner....now with my 4th, im only 22 weeks, and im feeling the pressure some days!! if it gets real painful, or u think u are contracting, then def call ur dr.! good luck!

I believe its normal to have a swollen vag right now during this time frame because you are coming close to your due date (even though its still a few weeks away). I would say go ahead and call your OB and see if they can get you in as soon as possible, so that way you know you are ok.
I agree, this is my third too, and I feel a lot of pressure in my pelvis at times, have very sore hips and back already to the point of almost not being able to get around much... I'm not that big and the baby isn't even a pound yet! But if you need to talk to someone, I say make an appointment as soon as you can so you can discuss this and someone can just put your mind at ease. Maybe you do need to be taking it easy more, who knows?

I'm 30 weeks tomorrow and since 28 weeks or so I've been feeling like this baby was just going to fall right out. My first was carried nice and high, I didn't even look pregnant, he was tucked in there so well. This one is very low and all out front. I'm miserable, I know what you mean about walking like someone who's 9 months along, cause I'm doing it too. The pressure is crazy, feels like he's pushing right on my cervix already.
I posted about all this just the other day and everyone assured me it can be pretty normal for second or third or more pregnancies. And, each one gets a lttle worse....
