  I was about 33w also when I felt I could breath better and noticed a gap between boobs/belly. I still can't really tell in pictures, but this week others have noticed I dropped.

  Mine started to drop at around 32/33 weeks...rest assured it's not "the" drop. My belly has dropped multiple times. The most noticeable was at 38 weeks when I no longer had a shelf but a steep slope under my boobs, this was when when "the" drop happened confirmed by my OB.

  My belly got lower around 34 weeks, but, as PP said, it's not "the" drop yet. I know when I had "the" drop with DS at 39ish weeks, I felt like I had a bowling ball between my legs.  Fun stuff.

  I am ready for "the" drop with this one.  My ribs and back are super sore from her being so high.

  I was around 34 weeks last time and during this pregnancy. (Just a little easier to breathe, but definitely using the bathroom more!)  The actual drop won't be happening for a few more weeks!

  In this pregnancy, happened around at around 35 weeks. I had been getting upper back pressure during BH and then it became lower back pressure when the baby dropped. I also got fewer "any day now!" comments since baby was less protruding. 

  
  

  First time though, didn't happen til much later - my pics at 37 weeks look like baby hadn't dropped yet.

  I dropped a few weeks ago. It's pretty obvious now so I'm hoping they arrive soon. With DD I think I dropped a few weeks before having her at 39 weeks. It's pretty normal to drop "early" though!

  Everyone has commented on my dropping, I'm 31 weeks, but I can't tell? My belly is lower, but my baby seems higher...but he also decided to turn sideways this week, and he's kicking my ass.

  I feel like mine dropped a little in the past week (I'm 35w) and it brought much more frequent trips to the restroom and soreness to my lady parts. I like to pretend for my sanity that that area is only going to bother me during the actual delivery, but with this little drop not being "the" drop and the pain it's brought with it, my fantasy is starting to fall apart.

  Yes that happened to me yoo! I didn't mention it to anyone though...I thought it was not a problem. Nothing happened after that I think it's normal and if you're worried ask your doctor.

  I'm 38 weeks tomorrow, and trying to get the baby to do her late drop. I have 3 already, and they all dropped about a week before we delivered at 37w. I've been carrying low the whole pregnancy this time around, and she decided like 2 weeks ago that she would stretch out instead of drop lower. Every pregnancy is different so I wouldn't worry to much about the drop, baby just wanted more space to move around.
