3rd Trimester
when did the baby drop with your first pregnancy
I am 33 weeks and I think that the baby dropped over the weekend.
Last week, I was having a lot of pressure and discomfort in my chest. This has suddenly went away and now, I am feeling more pressure on my bladder, increased need to use the bathroom etc. Does this sound right?
Also I had read that for first time mom's the baby drops a few weeks before delivery. Does that mean I might deliver in a month or so?

Re: when did the baby drop with your first pregnancy
My midwife said he had dropped around 32 weeks, but wasn't engaged yet. I have definitely have more pressure on my bladder/pelvis! It's totally normal. I wouldn't count on your LO coming within just a few weeks unless you're close to the end. They'll come when they're ready. Good luck!
My first didn't drop until around 37-38 weeks. I never was really uncomfortable until the last week when she was engaged.
This one has already started dropping in the last two weeks.
DS dropped at 36 weeks and my water broke at 37. I felt a lot more pressure after he dropped and the day my water broke a TON more pressure
