Heard this word lightning somewhere in a pregnancy group and had no idea what it meant. Im in my last trimester so curious if its related to that. Can someone explain in simple words?
I am still in my 5th month, but reading about this 'baby dropping' makes me nervous! Does it feel painful when it happens, or is it just a sudden change?
Medically, it's 'lightening' or engagement, where the fetal head descends into the pelvic cavity. While it relieves pressure on your lungs, it increases pelvic pressure, so do check with your gynac if you feel any sharp pains.
With two babies inside, lightening felt like a relief and a curse, haha! My breathing became easier, but walking felt like carrying two bowling balls between my thighs.
Actually, it is called 'lightening' and it's when the baby drops down into the pelvis during the late third trimester. I felt so much lighter in my chest and could finally breathe properly, even though my baby was constantly pressing on my bladder.
OMG, I thought my baby was falling out when this happened! But actually, it's just 'lightening' where the baby's head settles down. I was so scared but my doctor said it's totally normal.
Yaar, actually, it's called lightening because you literally feel light on your chest! It happened to me around week 36 and suddenly my heartburn just vanished.
Yes, it's called lightening. My baby dropped early but since I had to have a C-section later, my recovery was different, though that feeling of easy breathing before the surgery was such a relief.
I just delivered recently, and when lightening happened at 37 weeks, my tummy shape literally changed overnight and looked lower. It's a great sign that your baby is getting ready for birth!
It simply means baby niche khisak gaya hai in late pregnancy. Apko saas lene mein aasan hoga aur acidity thoda kam ho jayegi, bas washroom zyada jana padega.
