my heartburn has been noticeably less severe the past few days, could it be he is moving down?  I definitely don't think i 'dropped' per se, but maybe it's starting?  is it possible huh huh?

    My doctor today said I dropped and I had no idea.  I always thought that when I dropped it would feel like I had something between my legs.

    My baby dropped between 35-36 weeks. And my heartburn didn't go away but my breathing got better. Also, I can tell lately she has dropped even more with the extra pelvis pressure I am feeling.

    I've dropped a little, but not entirely. I did notice I could eat a little more without feeling stuffed so soon. And my heartburn got a little better too. People have said I looked like I dropped a little, but I honestly can't tell myself.

    My MIL just said to me today that i look like i have dropped.  She's here everyday helping since i'm on bed rest, this was the first time she noticed it.  So maybe it can happen over night?

    L and D said I was dropping yesterday, super early... I do notice more pressure in my pelvis today though.

    I'm scared.... I want the baby to drop so he'll stop waging war on my rib cage and so I can breathe again, but I'm not sure if the pressure will be MORE uncomfortable.

    Doc says our baby dropped. ?It did help me breathe a little easier and heartburn went away. ?However, the baby's still kicking my ribs and the pressure on my pelvis is making me miserable....sorry to sound like "Debbie Downer"image
