Pressure low in abdomen?

I woke up several times last night (for only like a second at a time) with some pressure low in my belly, like under my button. Its not the baby (she is up high still) but I'm a little concerned.

Of course, when I asked my doctor if there was anything I should look out for, he told me to just "relax" so I'm not sure what that was.

I'm not currently feeling the pressure but I don't know if I should call the service, go to the ED, or not worry about it.

I'm 35 weeks and change.

At 35w my LO was already in position and low. I'm 38w4d and still feel her move plenty on top. You are definitely feeling the baby.

Your belly button is going to start to hurt and right under it is going to start to get more and more sensitive until a little while after you give birth. No one told me this but when they kept coming in to push on my stomach after DD was born to make sure I delivered the entire placenta, it HURT SO FRIGGIN MUCH!!!!! You also may end up with this crazy darkening of the skin in the belly button like it'll look charred or something. I had no clue what that was but happened to be at the dermatologist when DD was 6 weeks old and she said it would flake off. I did a little extra exfoliating and lo and behold, it scrubbed off in a few showers!

The things no one tells you! lol

Hope you feel better!

Pretty much exactly the same here. I am 38+3 and baby is engaged, yet I still get kicks in the boobs practically... It is likely your baby dropping! Mine dropped at 36 weeks.
