Ok, so it started an hour or so ago, I just felt intense pressure down below, sort of like you need to go to the loo, I also have a crampy sensation and lower back pain, I am now feeling really anxious. The pressure feeling is horrid - is it normal?? -------------

No idea if its normal. I know i didnt have that with DD until in labour.
Id ring your midwife. -------------

I think if I still feel like it soon I will - its odd, it almost feels like the urge to push but not that intense. -------------

Is baby engaged? He/she might be moving into place or might have changed position a bit which could put pressure on different areas.
I'd definitely call the midwife, even just for peace of mind! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yea very common, it's probably the pressure of the baby's head settling further down. With my recent pg'cy, I had that on and off in the last 3 weeks as the baby decended and ascended in the pelvis. -------------  |

Sounds possibly like baby has engaged but I recall the pressure being quite intense, the need to push/pee, crampy and sore lower back when I was in labour so I'd ring mw just in case... ------------- http://lilypie.com">
