Baby Dropping

I am pretty sure my belly looks a heck of a lot different than it did yesterday, but I have to say he isn't nearly as low as I had expected if this is what dropping looks like. For those of you who have done this before, does it happen all at once or do they gradually get lower? Feeling less pressure on lungs, more on bladder and hips. Thanks!

    Mine has been gradually dropping for the last week in a half. My hips ache every night and the dr said it's from the baby going lower and lower.

    It can be gradual or all of a sudden. Mine has felt like her turning her head and trying to burrow into my pelvis/ under pubic bone. Accompanied by lovely hip pain, glorious back aches, and the sweet urge to manually lift my belly if I'm sitting too long.

    Yes! But why is it happening to me sooo early? @-)

    My understanding is that dropping can start as early as 36 weeks, especially if FTM

    U could go early, baby could be longer,lots of explanations. Just try to focus on getting comfortable. A maternity support belt can help (Mine is hideous and have worn it once).

    Thanks, you guys! I can feel him turning a little and he is no longer jumping off my ribcage. His butt is probably four inches lower than where it was a few days ago. My sister's baby dropped a whole month before she came! I am 38.1 but he is measuring full term.
