worried baby might come early

I'm a ftm and I'm 31+2 weeks and last week my pelvic started hurting and I think my baby has dropped and my bones feel like they are on fire. And I have so much pressure down low that I feel like if I cough or sneeze a good one she's just gonna pop out Lol. But I haven't experienced any loss of mucus plug that I'm aware of and the BH are like maybe 3 a week. I'm just worried that she's gonna come early what do you momma's think? I've read that once the baby is head down and you feel pressure like I feel (I think it's called lightning crotch) that baby is coming soon.

Just bc your having pelvic pain doesnt mean the baby has dropped. With my daughter I started having severe pelvic pain around 30 weeks. Dr said it was normal and just the pelvic bones coming apart getting ready for baby. I am now 26 weeks pregnant with my son and the pelvic pain started around 20 weeks and seems to get worse each week. You should be fine! Try not to worry! :) good luck!

My babies all dropped and were engaged pretty early...not one of the 3 came before my due date! Maybe you'll be luckier! If it's your first pregnancy though, you'll be more aware of the baby's head in your pelvis as it hasn't had to stretch before. Baby may not be as low as it feels. They'll check at your next appt, but I wouldn't worry unless you start getting stronger contractions. Take care :)
