Dropped! STM's how long til your labour?

Baby had dropped today.
I'm wondering how long it took for your labor to start after dropping?

Would be happy to wait until my scheduled section on Feb 15th.

Both dropped at around 30 weeks. I gave birth to my first at 38 weeks 5 days. You have a good chance of making it quite awhile longer.

DD dropped about a month and a half before she was born, around her EDD.  Other moms don't really drop until they were in labor.

I'm not a second time mom, but my baby dropped around week week 37, and I'm almost a week late.

DD didn't drop until sometime during labor. 

So basically... dropping means squat.

With DD, I dropped at 32 weeks and didn't go into labor until 40w 1d.  I've already dropped this time around as well.

When I was pg with DD2, I read that S+TM usually didn't drop until the last minute (vs FTM who can drop several weeks ahead of time).

I went out with coworkers at 36w6d, and someone mentioned it looked like baby had dropped. I said I had noticed the same, but surely that couldn't be because I still had 3 weeks to go. Well wouldn't you know it my water broke that night and DD2 was born at exactly 37w. (DD1 was born at 39w4d).

Mine never "dropped". I remember asking one day around 36 weeks when he would drop but they said he already had. I was induced at 40 weeks. No signs of labour before then.
