Lightening Already? Pain in Pelvis.....

hgrosch

I'm currently 29 weeks and over the weekend have felt what feels like a bit of a drop in my belly (which frankly has helped a bit with breathing/heartburn, but I have apparently traded it for some stabby pains in my pelvic area - almost like the muscles where my legs meet my torso on the inside of my legs are sore...and the lower back pain is through the roof. The girls are still VERY active and I've been having some BH contractions (feels like when they're more active I have more BH contractions).  I just had my docs appointment on Friday and all was well. Is this normal? It seems kind of early to have 'dropped'? Just curious, I would ask my singleton preggo friends but found out long ago that there pregnancies are on a whole different playing field from carrying these two baby girls!. When did your babies drop? Did it result in pelvic pain and really slow walking  (I'm moving like a snail)?

We are in the same week and this also happened to me about a week and a half ago. I didn't get this feeling with my first until much later. My baby A is already at a -1 station and engaged but has been since week 26 so I have been walking around (when I can walk due to bed rest) silly because he is sssooo low I swear he is just gonna fall out! But yeah this week they both def. dropped it's very obvious too when I look at my belly from the side. My hip pain is also at its worst I can feel it all widening. I can tell my body started to produce a lot of relaxin as well as all my joints are about to fall apart.

Whaaat?  Why did I not know about this?  Good luck.  Sounds like it isn't that much fun...
