Dropped?

in 3rd Trimester
I am 36 weeks, having a lot of pressure down below, and I had to get up to go to the restroom 7-8 times last night compared with 3-4 before.....do you think this means I dropped?  I don't see it in comparison pics of myself!

    Can you breathe better?! My MW said you can breathe better and you'll have more of a "shelf" after the drop.

    Depends. I have dropped and I can't see a difference in my pictures but that's because I've carried pretty low throughout this pregnancy. Some women say you can breathe better/eat more once you drop (I personally haven't experienced this).

    Your doctor should be able to tell you at your next appointment- I believe that if you are below a -3 station then you've dropped.

    I started to drop around 33/34 weeks and that is what I notice, many more trips to the restroom.
