3rd Trimester

Baby dropping?

3 of my friends today have commented that my bump looks different, lower ans more up front, whatever that means...This is my 2nd baby; #1 was breech and I never expereinced the whole "dropping" thing, but this baby is head down, I've read that such a change in the appreance of the bump could mean you've dropped, and the last 2 nights I have noticed more pressure on my pelvis; but I have SPD and its painful down there anyways!! Does this potentially mean baby has dropped? I'm still having a ton of rib pain though...

Re: Baby dropping?

  • I am 36wks as well & I heard the same comments from different people today-I feel like my waistband has gotten tighter around the lower part of my bump recently too.  I'm gonna take a new pic to check for myself!  I guess that's a good thing-LO will be here soon!

  • I swore up & down LO dropped a few weeks ago but at my appointment today she's still as high as can be in my pelvis, I just carry her low.

  • I dropped just before 34 weeks with this one (DR. confirmed.)   I did not drop with DD, and DS was always so low I never could tell.

    DS was always so low I never could tell. 

      This baby is VERY low to, so I think it would be difficult for me to tell as well...DD#1 was VERY high so its completley different already.

  • LO has been low from day one. But today she has been feeling even lower (if thats even possible) I feel alot of pressure down there. And my Hubby commented that my Boobies aren't resting on my belly like they have been.

  • ugh. everyone told me this at work today so I wanted to see how far along you guys were. i am so not ready and DS was early.....maybe I am just carrying low as well....although there is a sudden increase  in pressure on my cervix. damn.
  • I noticed a difference in my bump last week.  I had more space between my boobs and my belly.  I didn't even say anything to anyone at work but I got several comments.  I feel like he's trying to push his head through my cervix (ouch!) and the pressure is really annoying!  By the end of the day I can barely bend because my pubic area is so sore and I'm totally waddling. I really wasn't expecting this to happen so early so I'm going to ask my doctor about it at my appointment this coming Monday.
