I know how you feel lonleyheartz- my baby's head has been right down in my pelvic cavity since about 30 weeks. I didn't think i'd make it the last 10 weeks of the pregnancy, it was so uncomfortable- but here I am !!! I kinda got use to it I guess.
Still having the odd pain, but not proper labour. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of timing pains though, so i'm not going to bother any more. It's not like I can go ahead and have the baby without noticing is it !!!!!!!
I'm sure if i'm getting proper regular strong contractions, then it'll be pretty obvious. Unless my waters break, i'm not going to pay any attention to "possible" pains and stuff.
