When did baby "drop"?

FutureMrsWittig · May 2011

2nd time moms, or moms approaching your due date:

When did you feel baby "drop" or did you?

I think he dropped sometime a week or week and a half ago. The only way I knew was that I had SO much pressure down there and had to pee a lot more often. Also some aches and pains. But I couldn't tell just by looking - until today! I looked down and was feeling my bump and noticed he's I can SEE that he's a lot lower! I'm hoping this is a all a good sign that things are starting to happen!

He was carrying low the entire time so I thought he dropped earlier. But at about 38 weeks he really dropped- my fundal height measurements even went down a centimeter.

I am about 34w, and LO seems to have started the dropping process as of last week. I only noticed the more pressure on my cervix and the feeling that I have to pee all of the time. My mom and DH both say I am carrying lower. OB said baby was def lower but not fully dropped yet!

I didn't really notice, but sometime between 36 and 37 weeks. OB was able to tell via internal exam.

I should add- first time around with DS I never dropped. I was induced at 40 weeks 6 days.

I'm 35 weeks, and thr Dr. confirmed she has dropped yesterday. When she dropped I knew it. I could feel increased pressure down there.

I'm not a second time mom but I just had an appt today (37w2d) and the doc said he has dropped a bit.

I dropped this week at 31 weeks, it happened over night - I felt a ton of movement all night, as I was up peeing a lot.

It's very noticeable to outsiders.

I'm still waiting for him to drop.

I actually never dropped with either of my first two sons....I expect it to be the same with this one. I always carry really high and have a short torso (I am 5'4"). The heartburn just gets worse as the months go by.....

Hmm..I didn't really "feel" it drop...I just kind of noticed that one day I could breath better. Anyway, I think that baby dropped around 35 weeks because thats when my MW told me that the baby was lower haha.

i didnt notice a difference physically.. but I started feeling alot of pressure and the "lightning" feeling around 34 weeks, I still wasnt sure I had dropped but when I went to my appt yesterday Dr and nurse said it looked like I had.. DH didnt notice lol.

2nd time mom: and she still hasn't dropped. At my apt yesterday my midwife said she could feel her head though and I may not drop til I am in actual labor this time but with DS I was at 36 weeks when he dropped.

Dropped around 33w3d - I know this because I literally was so overwhelmed with being able to take deep full breaths. OB confirmed today - and also that I'm 3cm dilated and LO is at -2 station.
