    Posted: 07 August 2006 at 1:15pm
When i saw my midwife last week she went "oh, baby has started to dorp into your pelvis already" and I just wondered if this usualy happens at this stage - I thought it only started to drop after 36 week?

So those of you who have dropped - when did you do it roughly, can you remember?

I never properly dropped, but I definitely noticed my belly was lower at about 38ish weeks? But then again, I never went into labour, baby was never fully engaged so that's why I never fully dropped!

I'd say it's probably not a bad thing that she's begun her descent

I think with first time Mums it can happen quite early. I think with Paige I was about 33 weeks? With Second bubs they can float around and become engaged just as labour starts. In saying that my little man has been down there for quite a few weeks now. Never really moves from his upside down spot!!!

baalamb- i just wanted to say i love the little quote/verse under your ticker really true.

as for dropping..... mine are always up and down, although it wasnt until labour that they actually dropped for me.

Andrew dropped at about 30 weeks. It was a weird feeling.
I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

i was wondering about this myself. asked the midwife today when babies usually drop and she said between 36-38wks. i though my belly had dropped abit, bubs is sitting at the entrance to pelvis (?) but i think he's been there a while. good bubs, at least this one knows which way to go

Maya never dropped till I was in labour (at 38 weeks) but then she was posterior so I don't know if that made a difference?

A couple of people think I've started to drop but seeing as my LMC hasn't confirmed it yet I'll wait for her to tell me if I have or haven't. It may be that my tummy has dropped a bit but not bubs.

Ella dropped when i was 32 maybe even 31 weeks and was insanely low. But dont worry it doesnt necessarily mean ur baby will arrive early, Ella was a week late
