I don't really remember feeling LO1 drop but today I'm suddenly feeling lots of pelvic pressure, almost like I need to have a BM. It gets worse when I sit down and you can forget bending over without squatting, if I don't open my pelvis to bend over i feel quite a bit of pain and pressure. Also having low back pain but that's fairly normal these days. But I'll only be 27 weeks on Thursday. I just don't remember feeling pressure/pain like this the first time around. Is it normal? lol

My second was low from an early point but dropped even *more* by 33-34 weeks (I couldn't sit properly!). She was born 38+2.
If you're worried just ask your doctor
they can help reassure you or make sure everything is good!

Agreed, I've heard second babies just feel lower than the first. I've started to waddle (only way it is comfortable to walk) around 30 weeks, and I know it is much sooner than I did with LO1. A coworkers used to complain that she felt like her second child was going to fall out from 20 weeks on, because she sat so low. She was miserable by the end.

I felt low and waddley like that for a long time, probably since you're talking about. People constantly said I was low and looked like I was having a boy. But now at 41+4, my belly is literally sagging over my pants! I would guess your baby is just getting bigger, but if you're worried, ask your doctor.
