STM+ when did you drop?

For those mamas on their second or subsequent pregnancies, have you dropped yet? If you have other kids, when did you drop in comparison to when you went into labor?

    My first never seemed like she dropped. My second engaged her head at 33w it was great! My third never did and this one, 32w5d, keeps engaging then floating back up. So I get a day a breathing and little indigestion and then it's back the next day it so.

    DS didn't drop either. This one hasn't dropped yet. I read that it is normal for STM to not drop until labor because, the shape of the uterus has changed from 1st pregnancy. Not sure if that is true.

    I've read that too and that's why I'm asking.. I dropped a few days ago at 36 weeks, and I'm hoping labor holds off because I'm not ready!!

    DD dropped at 36 weeks it was so nice to finally take a full breathe! I'm only 27 weeks with DS so I still have quite a while.

    Mine never drop. Sigh. They've all been at +1 when I'm at 10 cm. Not fun but at least they all had round heads when they came out. LOL!

    I never really dropped with any of my babies. At least I don't recall dropping. They say with second and subsequent babies, usually dropping occurs right at the onset of labor. I was always watching for this as a sign that labor was imminent, but no sign came.

    Currently on my third pregnancy, last week at 38 weeks she was still quite high (but the midwife said she was engaged at least). Now going into my 39th week tomorrow, she has most definitely dropped. I notice I have less heartburn but it also feels like my stomach is suddenly heavier. I was 38 weeks when I dropped with #2 and never dropped with #1.
