It can do, yes. Depends upon many factors, such as the size of the baby, the position it's lying, size and shape of your pelvic brim and your pain threshold.
If you can, buy a gym ball and sit on that instead of the sofa, you can't help but gyrate and bounce gently! That should help. It also helps with what is called optimal fetal positioning. Helps baby get into a good position for birth for both of you. Especially good if you have a posterior positioned baby.

It's not the most comfortable feeling, but I've felt worse! If a woman can't tolerate the pain, there are plenty of drugs which can be given to help alleviate the pain and make is so she feels virtually nothing at all. It's all up to the mother --- if she complains about it hurting, she had 9 months to decide what she wanted to do, so I have no sympathy for anyone who whines about child birth. I had 2 children naturally, no drugs and I have no complaints.

No it doesn't hurt the baby s head. It could change the shape temporarily. It will change its shape after a few days. The baby's head is designed to be flexible so that it can fit through the birth canal.

You mean when the baby drops lower in the pelvis? No, no pain there! But you can expect constipation to follow.
Also, I have to say - and I had no pain medicine and NO EPIDURAL - that there was NO PAIN during my daughter's birth! I think nature gives us adrenaline as a natural anesthesia... And giving birth has got to be the most amazing and satisfying thing I've ever experienced!
Don't listen to others' horror stories... Women's bodies were designed for this - it is awesome!
Best wishes!!!

I agree to most of the comments printed already---
The labour itself sucks-----
Once the delivery starts there is no pain just lots of fanatical pushing-----like pushing a wheelbarow full of bricks up hill on your back. IT DOES NOT HURT
Enjoy the experience without the drugs that spoil the most ethereal experiance of your life----the first time can never be repeated.
I enjoyed it so much the first time that I wanted another child.
It was over so fast the second time it was a let down.
A friend has recently enjoyed the birth of her second daughter by natures intended path and found out the true meaning of being lucky enough to have a natural birth! (her first came out through the sun-roof/c-section)

well in my experience, I've had two, no it doesn't hurt when the head engages, you wont even be thinking of that, you'll be thinking about the pain of the contractions and getting the baby out as soon as!!
overall, a painful experience but very worth it in the end!

If the head engages before labour begins, it may not even be noticed. Sometimes it causes increased feelings of downward pressure.
If it engages during labour the pain [if any] will be because of the contractions

You mean when the baby's head drops into the pelvis? Then no it didn't hurt me, in fact it was lovely as the baby dropped a bit and his feet moved out from my ribs, i was able to get a bit more comfortable and breathe better

Of course it does, but just before the baby's head comes out, the nerves on the mother are pinched and the pain is not any worse when the baby comes out as when she's pushing and the baby is not yet delivered.
