Pelvic Discomfort

Just wondering! how many either freshly new mamas or mamas who’ve done this before have had bad pelvic/groin discomfort after the baby dropped? and mainly what i’m wondering is how long did it last before you went into labor?!

i’ve had a lotttt of pressure the last two days. at my last appointment in monday, my OB tried to do a head measurement with the US and said baby’s head was too far down my pelvis to get a measurement. so he’s definitely down there. i feel like i can hardly walk or even sometimes sitting is painful with lots of lightening pains. i’m 37+5 now. did you go several weeks with this discomfort or is labor near?
