My co-worker thinks I've dropped

JesscanTri

We were standing in our records room talking about work stuff when out of nowhere she tells me that she thinks I've dropped since last week. I asked my husband and he also thinks that my belly isn't as high as it was. I know this isn't really indicative of much, but I can't believe that I might have actually hit this point in my pregnancy.

What about you ladies? Have you gotten any comments or notice that your bump is a little lower these days?

I've heard the same thing from co-workers.  Truthfully, I'm not sure.  Part of me thinks it depends on what I'm wearing, although I do feel like I'm starting to waddle....  *sigh*

Some days it seems lower but others it seems to be just as high.

I know my sister's baby dropped around 34 weeks. Like you said it's not indicative of anything because she was still locked up tight until she had to have her emergency c-section at 38 weeks because of a car accident. 

Is it easier for you to breath? Do you have more pressure in your pelvic region? These are usually good indicators that you've dropped.

I know I have dropped a little bit because my boobs are no longer on top of my belly

I feel like I've dropped a little.  My bump looks lower, and I have so much more pressure in my pelvis, however I still have awful heartburn and get short of breath, so who knows.

It has been a little bit easier to breathe, but my ribs are still killing me, so maybe not. I have had more pressure and am pretty uncomfortable shifting positions at night because of it. Who knows and I still have a good chunk of time left, so I won't be too obsessed with it right now.

Yes!! I posted last week that my belly has very clearly dropped from where it was.  I can breathe again...Hallelujah!

I have definitely dropped. I have had several friend notice it, but I can tell more because I don't get heartburn anymore and LO isn't kicking me in the ribs like he was a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, last week everyone kept making comments that I have dropped and now that I have evaluated myself I think it has too. I can breath better and there is more pressure on my pelvis. I know that 31 weeks is early...does that mean anything? I know most of you ladies are saying that it doesnt mean anything, but I really think that 31 weeks is really early.

Everyone tells me I have... but I still can't breathe! I'm definitely feeling more pressure and having a hard time walking, so maybe?

Everyone told me I "dropped" last time too and actually DS never ever moved down on his own! LOL!

Same here.  Today was actually uncomfortable as I felt cramps/tightness much lower.  Coworker (married guy, just had a kid) got wide-eyed and commented that I had really dropped & others agreed.  I don't see it, but it did feel different today.
