This afternoon/evening I have been feeling a bunch of pressure in my pelvis. It is slightly painful but mostly uncomfortable. I was feeling pretty good until a week or two ago, I have been feeling heavier and like it's harder to get around.
I don't think I'm having contractions and there is no bleeding. M asked if I need to go to hospital and I'm not that worried. It's just a totally new feeling. Is it possible the baby dropped? I'm 30 weeks. My advice nurse line is closed. Any thoughts?

More likely you are starting to feel the weight of your belly! If it gets more annoying, a maternity support belt can help. Babies are unlikely to drop and stay low this early - they still have plenty of room to move around.

I'm only 21 weeks but a few days ago I had a day where I felt a lot of pressure in my lower pelvis. I thought maybe I was hanging Braxton hicks because it was very uncomfortable all day. It went away though, and I'm wondering it if was just baby turning, perhaps. He's still sitting really low, right on my bladder. Little stinker!
Hope your discomfort is temporary!

@youboots: it could also be that your baby flipped and his now head down. Pressure on the pelvis then increases too. Hope you're feeling better!

@macintosh: thank you! Feeling better.
@pumuckl that is totally possible. I think I am also feeling the weight now.
