24 wks, head engaged?

[snowyaj]

I'm 24+4 wks. This is my 2nd baby and I have experienced a bit of discomfort across my pelvis. Although I'm carrying low this time, my first is 1 on Sunday, I was told I'd appeared as though I'd dropped? Any thoughts?  Is that normal?

Thanks guys. Just felt very strange to feel those sensations that I felt right at end of first pregnancy when I was very much aware of head being engaged. Just watching it now!

I had something similar with my second- but it really was just her position and where everything was pulling- she ended up being a week late.  

If you are not having any other early labor signs, I wouldn't overly worry about it.  Your doctor may have some tips for getting more comfortable, so it wouldn't hurt to mention it to them.

I had this too, and it turned out that the ligaments (there are 4) holding my baby were tighter on one side so I was feeling a lot of discomfort and that"head engaged" feeling. An adjustment from a great prenatal chiropractor and that feeling went away! He didn't loosen them to the point of baby dropping till I was 38 weeks (I had baby 10 days early thanks to him!!  ) But loosening it so they were all even was sooooo much more comfortable!

I kind of doubt that is true. :>)  You have a long way to go and baby is still of a size that they can move around a good bit.  I'd just say that baby is in an awkward position for you currently and expect that he or she will move soon. good luck
