OBGYN,  's  Response
Descent of the head into the pelvis can certainly can feel that way, and even though you are uncomfortable it may mean that your body is getting ready for labor! A pelvic exam from your OB provider can confirm this. Try sleeping with a pillow between your legs as it may help with the discomfort. Good luck!
