Did I drop?

Katie

Last night I was having so many weird pains. All day yesterday the baby was moving more than usual and in different patterns/strides than usual as well.

I started having a lot of back pain when it got closer to the day ending.

I took some Tylenol and started to rest more.

Later on that night I had very excruciating pain that hit my lower back and circled around to my vagina. I wanted to scream. I felt so much pressure on my lower abdomen. It made me feel like I had to poo but I couldn’t.

Out of nowhere I started having sharp pains that went straight to my vagina.

I called the after hours OB and she wasn’t help at all. She didn’t ask about discharge, how much water intake I had, etc.

I had Braxton Hicks before but does Braxton Hicks go as low as your vagina?

After getting off the phone with the OB, I called a friend of mine who is an OB for a different practice. She said it seems like the baby dropped and she recommends me staying off my feet. (Just her opinion).

This morning I wake up, and I feel so much pressure at my lower abdomen, and vagina. It hurts to walk. My back hurts.

I’m 33 weeks today.

Does it sound like I dropped? If so, does everyone “show” when they drop?
