Advice Please - engaging or early labour sign?? UPDATED
I was just wondering what everyone else thought?
Basically for the last few days on and off I have been getting quite bad period type cramps - I am 33+5. When I went to my MW 2 weeks ago she said the baby was moving down. Do you thik she is engaging or could it be an early labour sign?
I have only had the odd braxton hicks, no change in discharge. no show, no backache etc so am really not sure?
I have the MW coming tomorrow afternoon - should I ask her then or call the MW line tonight?! Don't know what to do as I don't know if the engaging cause cramps or not!
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

Well I had my MW appt - and as suspected it is the baby engaging! She is 4/5ths! At least I know now! Thanks for all your advice girls to stop me worrying

I also agree with what you said about me not having any other symptoms! That was another reason I thought it was probably to leave it til tomorrow
I guess I will have to wait and see what the MW says tomorrow

Samanthalh - I have heard / read but don't quote me that they can engage 6-8 weeks before the baby is born in 1st pg's!
