GaHadley Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 drop sooner than a day or two before labor? I'm 32 weeks with my 3rd child, and I feel and look like i've dropped, but everything I read says that with later children, they usually drop just within a day or two of labor. . . ? TIA :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidbits of Learning Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have had 4 kids and I looked like I was about to give birth for the last 3 months of the last pregnancy. I looked like I had dropped way earlier, but appearances can be deceiving b/c I stayed that way for the rest of the pregnancy. I think my poor tummy muscles were just tired. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If you look like you've dropped, you've dropped, no matter what everyone else's bundle does! My second dropped about half way (kinda) weeks before I had him, but then just sat around there until birth. I knew someone who's three dropped at about 30 weeks. Uncomfy!

elise1mds Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My daughter dropped long before she broke my water, and she was born three weeks early. I couldn't walk for almost a month before she was born. It was almost impossible to keep up with my son! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Mine were both early- the first 3 weeks, the 2nd 12 days. They are all unique and individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My first 2 never dropped/engaged until i was in labour. With my 3rd she dropped and was engaged from 33 weeks and i had her at 37 weeks. My OB did say he thought she would be early at my 35 week check up.

GaHadley Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 thanks, ladies! now I don't feel so crazy for thinking he's dropped. Perhaps I should get all my last minute supplies ready? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
