I am just 30 weeks along - today I feel a bit better, but the baby has
definately "dropped" and I am feeling a lot of pressure on the tops of
my legs, hips, lower back and pelvic bone. I guess I am just in for a
bit of a long haul over the next ten weeks or so. I have a doctors
appointment next wednesday, so I think I will stick it out unless
anything changes dramatically between now and then.
Fingers (and legs) crossed.
