When did you "drop"? I think I dropped. How do you know?

So my bump just seems lower... it looks to me like I've dropped. But how the heck do I know? And does it really matter? lolz. Probably not...

I noticed I dropped because I can finally breathe! but I am also peeing twice as much as I was before.. it feels as if she's going to drop any second.. fun..

I feel like I might have dropped b/c I breathe a little easier and I feel her head move a little lower now. But I've been waiting to feel pressure and some pain in my hips to know if I really have. Haven't felt those signs yet, so who knows!

I have dropped. I started dropping last week. I can fit my forearm under my boobs now. Before I couldn't because the baby was in the way and I can also breathe easier.

I considered DD#1 really 'dropped' when I was walking with the bowling ball between the legs feeling... that's not to say baby can't drop lower but still not be that low.. Smile

I realized I'd dropped when it felt like she was going to fall out of my crotch. I had some pretty intense pressure between my legs. Plus, I could breathe easier, I had no heartburn, and I had to pee constantly (like 20 times a night). I always carried low, though, so I've had these symptoms throughout my pregnancy - it was just worse once she dropped into -1 station (right before she was born).

I think I dropped last week, week 36. I noticed that I could inhale fully again (a delightful feeling!) and my nighttime bathroom trips doubled. I wasn't really sure until my doctor confirmed it - the baby is low enough that he could touch the head at my last appt.
