Stupid ftm question....

Can I prevent him from dropping by sitting too much? I sit at work all day and I'm afraid he will never drop! I wish he would so I could breathe! Any recommendations?

    Try not to think about it too much... you're a FTM, it's likely that you'll go past 40 weeks, so you've got time. Lot of babies don't even drop until you go into labor. Try to focus on something else.

    you could sit on a ball, it might help but really baby will drop when it feels like it!

    My baby didn't drop until I was in active labor. But she moved fast once things got going.

    I had wanted mine to drop to free up some room up top.  But now that she has started and lightening crotch is setting in I realize there is no good position when she is simply this crowded haha.  No matter where she sits, SOMETHING feels imposed upon.  My newest discomfort is a double whammy.  I think she is stretching out which causes pressure down low where her head is while simultaneously punching my ribs with I assume her little feet.

    yep, it's the stretching. I swear the baby feels like it's headbutting my bladder and cervix and kicking my lungs and ribs at the same time. Not good times.
