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? ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

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? -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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
