question about dropping

Mkay&Billy2011

i am 36 weeks and have gotten like three comments today that it looks like i dropped.. i dont really think it looks a whole lot like i did but i also dont ever think i look any bigger even though my belly is clearly growing and right on track. i think its just because i see my belly everyday. i feel like i have had more pubic bone pain and pressure down there and on my bladder. i was pretty small pre pregnancy and i still feel her in my ribs. so my question is, could i have dropped wothout it looking much different to me and still feeling her in my ribs alot? my doctor didnt comment today but said she is head down. she also doesnt do dialation checks until 38 weeks. thanks and sorry for typos, i am posting from my phone and its kind of hard to fix.
