when did your LO drop?

in 3rd Trimester

People have told me today my belly looks lower but I didn't feel anything "drop"  ... just wondering when you dropped or if you even dropped. 

Also, do both girls and boys "drop" or just girls?  I heard that since boys are usually carried lower they are already in the "dropped" position. 

 Thanks

    I think My LO dropped on Monday. I didn't actually feel anything but I've had to pee a lot more than usual! And I've started to have more shooting pains in my pelvic area and hip joints. So I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Sorry I'm not more helpful!

    I went to the doc last night and he said baby has been head down for a few weeks. I hear most people say 32-33w, and then some say not until right before they deliver.

    I have no idea since I am a FTM but I do know that everytime I get up to walk, I feel like I need to pee and my bladder isn't even full.  This is a bit of a change from a few days ago.

    Plus the bottom of my belly just feels heavier that usual.  I don't notice anything differently when I look in the mirror though.

    When I was pregnant with my DD, I never dropped (well, I guess I dropped at some point early in my labor, but I didn't notice anything by then).

    This time, I'm almost 35 weeks and I've definitely NOT dropped yet.  My LO is still somewhere between breech and transverse, so it's not likely to happen until he finally decides to flip head-down for me.

    My doctor told me a few weeks ago (probably around 35 weeks) that my baby had dropped.. I didn't feel anything or notice any difference in how my belly looked.  I asked my SIL when she dropped and she had no idea with either one of her kids.

    Hey this sounds like me too!   I don't think I look any different than before but my belly does feel heavier.... however I don't think I would have noticed unless someone mentioned it. 

    Thanks!

    I would say around 2 weeks ago. I could finally breathe and started peeing myself when I sneezed!  :)

    This word for word for me... this past weekend I started having an increase in these symptoms.

    I don't remember noticing it at all with my first.  But 2 nights ago I was making dinner and I got this sudden painful pressure right behind my pubic bone.  It doubled me over and I had to grab the counter.  It didn't last long, but for about an hour after that it felt like he was burrowing into my pelvis.  I had to lay down and flip from side to side to relieve the pressure.

    I think she may have dropped yesterday. I started to have excruciating tail bone pain yesterday morning and I read that it could be from the pressure of baby's head pressing down there. A few people told me that my belly looks a *Little* lower so I think she's in the process of getting "locked and loaded".

    I never noticed it with my first pregnancy and the only way I know he's moved down some this time is because my midwife said yesterday he was at -2 station. so I guess he's like half way dropped but most 2nd or more time moms dont completely drop untill labor.

    Somedtime in the last week I dropped.  Last Thurs. MW appt. I was measuring 4 weeks ahead.  Today I'm measuring @ 37 weeks (I'm 36+4).  So I dropped alledgedly, now if someone could tell my  lo, he still likes to stick his feet in my lower ribs.  But I don't really feel or look any diifferent.
