Is it too early to be feeling pressure?

Question

I’ll be 25 weeks on Tuesday and I feel like he’s pushing right down, in my pelvic area, it’s quite uncomfortable, I wouldn’t say painful but it’s not very pleasant, my back is also super achy. I was wondering if he’s getting head down ready for birth or whatever when it’s still just over 15 weeks away. Is this normal for this stage or shall i mention it to my midwife when I see her on Wednesday?🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Its normal. I worried to because the more times im pregnant the earlier i engage. But weirdly the earlier i engaged the longer my pregnancy lasted. Even tho i dilated a cm or 2 and effaced earlier too. I was told its only a worry if you start feeling contractions. Its very uncomfortable aye. It triggers more peeing and more aches lol

Answer

I remember feeling some pressure around my pelvic area around 25 weeks. The combined weight of your uterus, baby, and placenta put a lot of pressure on that area. It wouldn't hurt to mention it to your midwife. She can do palpitations on your tummy and pelvic region to see where babies head is if they are concerned.

Answer

My boys been head down since around 24-25 weeks. 
He was partially engaged from 26 weeks and I've had loads of pressure. I'm now 35 weeks and he's fully engaged so I don't think it's too early😊
