I think the other night my baby dropped but im not sure. I woke up with this piercing pain 'down there" and in the rectal area also I had some cramping like menstrual cramps...My belly look's lower to me but do any of you who have had recent pregnancy's or children know the sign's?? I am only about 4-week's away from d-day and I was curious if that's what I am feeling? Also I have had a huge change in dis-charge..I hate to sound gross..But it is white and very thick and heavy..What is that? I know it's not a yeast infection but im wondering if it is all signs of labor getting closer!! :lol: :lol: .....I sure hope so..I feel like the good year blimp..Lol

You could be loosing your mucus plug. Also the stuff you are feeling could be braxton hicks. Your body getting ready for delivery. As long as you see no blood, no leaking fluids, or having contractions every 5 to 7 min apart you are okay. Your baby is probally engaging at this point. Good luck to you and keep us updated so we know that you are ok

Thanks Tazzy!!

I hope he droped!! All day today I would walk around and it feel's like he is about to push himself out..Lol....I can tell a big difference in how he is laying, he feel's much lower than he was a few day's ago. I don't feel any kicking anymore, just rolling mostly. I am extremely dizzy also?! I have never been so ready to get this boy out of me!!! We packed his and my bag's today so everything would be ready to go to the hospital. Do you happen to know about circumcision??? Is it true that medi-caid doesen't cover it anymore?

They covered my sons, too. And they will cover this one as well. I will ask tomorrow at my 36w app about the covering. I dont know if the ob will know, since he doesnt do the procedure himself. But he might have a heads up.
