Baby drop and BH question

in 3rd Trimester

When does baby typically drop and what does it feel like?  Will you know?

Also what exactly are BH like, i have no idea if I have had them.  My stomach gets hard sometimes but thats all.

    DD1 never dropped and I never had a single BH with her.

    This time, I've been having BH for a while. Just feels like an uncomfortable tightening.

    You won't "feel" the baby drop. You may feel like baby is lower at some point; have more pressure in your crotch, etc. But it's not a momentous thing that happens suddenly enough to feel. It's usually quite gradual if it happens at all before labor; for many women, baby doesn't drop down until she's in active labor.

    I can tell the baby has started dropping due to more pressure in my pelvic area. I actually cant walk normal! My belly also looks a little lower. 
    Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

    Sounds like you have had some BH as your stomach will get really hard. Baby dropping will feel like more pressure in your hips/pelvis.
