I am so uncomfortable! this baby is so, so, so low. I feel like I'm 40 weeks pregnant (and I'm just shy of 27!).
I've also been having random contractions, but my OB said not to worry unless I have 4-6 in an hour.. but the two things combined have me a little freaked. ha.

Yes but my first was breech, and my second wasn't. So, I might not have the best response!
I waddled like crazy, though, from 18 weeks on. It was horrible. I felt like I had a bowling ball between my legs.

I don't think that I'm carrying this one lower, but I've been having TONS of contractions. I don't think I had one BH contraction with my first pregnancy but it's almost nonstop with this one. My OB's not too worried because I'm not too dilated (for 34 weeks) and the fetal fibronectin test was negative - but the contractions themselves are exhausting!!
It's interesting how different two pregnancies can be!

My first sat super low as well. This one already feels like he's going to fall out at any moment at 31.5 wks. I also have contractions and a hx of preterm labor so am on edge.

Yes! Very very low and many more contractions than with my first.

I'm only 19 weeks but it does feel like this pregnancy is lower and heavier already. I've heard that it can be a result of former muscle separations or just weaker stomach muscles between pregnancies. If you find it really becoming an issue a vlogger I follow used a brace/sling type thing to help lift up her belly. It gave her back a break and also helped labor progress more naturally when the time came.

This second baby is so, so, so, so low! I can literally feel her kick my bladder all the freaking time.

Second baby is so much lower! It feels like I'm carrying a bowling ball around that I can barely keep in. I swear whenever I crouch that she's going to fall right out. I am getting my first internal check next week and I'm sort of hoping that she'll send me to the hospital, I am so ready for this bebe to come out.

My second wasn't much lower, at least not that I could tell. She was breach until after 35 weeks though, so she felt completely different in there.

Yes! But I carried my first ridiculously high, so there was really no way the second could be carried any higher! I had way more heartburn with my high baby, but loads of BH from about 20 weeks onwards with my second.

I don't know about lower exactly, but she is in a far less comfortable position for me. I barely noticed I was pregnant with LO1, this one seems to make her presence known.

YES - I swear I'm getting bladder and cervix kicks already and i'm 22 weeks.

This one is sitting in exactly the same spot as DD. The very bottom of my belly sits on the counter. I knew labor was close when my bump started bumping into the counter.

My 2nd was much higher. My first, a boy, was super low. I felt like he could fall out at any moment! I also had people tell me that I looked like I had dropped at like 30 weeks. My 2nd, a girl, was much higher, but she was breech, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
