With my first baby, he dropped around 36 weeks and I suddenly felt this heavy pressure down below. But with my second, it didn't happen until I was in active labor. Don't worry about the timing, your body knows what to do.

Buy a basic Prega News kit from the pharmacy. Test using your first morning urine, ideally 1 week after your missed period. It is cheap, easy, and gives the most accurate result at home.

Yes it can, and please if this is your situation, reach out to a doctor or a women's helpline as soon as possible. There is medical and emotional support available and you are not alone. Please dont go through this without help.
