How soon after you dropped did you go in labor?

hello I'm a mom of 2 pregnant with my third child I've noticed I dropped a lot. How soon after you (second or third.. Or more moms) dropped did you go into labor?

I'm a first timer, so I'm no help. Sorry. 

Hope you get some answers.

Sometimes what people call "dropped" and the actual definition of "dropped" can be two different things...therefore people will think or say they dropped when they really have not.  Truly dropped is when the baby's head engages down very far and low into the cervix in preparation for labor.  However, some people say they look like they have dropped or feel like they have dropped when truly the baby's head is not really engaged but maybe just the way the baby is not laying or the fact that your water begins to deplete some as you come closer or past your due date, etc. your belly may look or feel different but baby is not technically truly dropped.

I never really did. Not until labour actually began for me. This will be my 5th baby. Expecting the same again. It is common for 2nd or later pgs to drop later.
