Anyone else feel like baby has to “settle in” to your pelvis in the mornings?

Question

I’m almost 37 weeks and baby is head down and very low. It caused me pelvic pain when she first dropped as things shifted around, but that has mostly subsided now. However, when I get up in the mornings I feel like it takes awhile for her to settle in down there again and it is painful (not go to the dr painful, but uncomfortable). Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Answer

Yes! It’s like she moves up some during the night then moves back down real low soon after I get up.

Answer

Yeah I feel similar too. Every morning i wake up feeling like that abd thinking if this feeling stays then today could be THE day.... but then it fades away.

Answer

My midwife told me (especially for 2nd,3rd etc baby) it’s normal for baby to move up & down, in & out of pelvis in 3rd trimester as there is often more room in there compared to first pregnancy. My baby boy is def moving up & down some days I’m super uncomfortable other days are pretty good!!

Answer

I feel like that if i lay down, when i get up, even if I’m only laying down 10 mins, when i get up i can barely walk because it’s like he’s stuck in my hips or something..

Answer

Yes, feel very similar every morning or even if I had a longer “break” on a couch during day.
