When did this happen for you? My first never dropped, but late last week there was a noticeable drop in baby placement and I feel like I can breath again! She also feels SO low. I am only 33 weeks now. Is this normal?

If your doctor checked you and said you have dropped and didn't sound concerned you should be fine, everyone's body is different and I've read usualy you are between 36 and 38 weeks when you can start to drop so 33 weeks is really close to that, they say when you start it means you are real close like a few weeks of going into labor! goodluck!!

kaylasmommy - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) my baby dropped when i was 32 weeks everyone is different

Debra - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I dropped at 36 weeks. I was 6 days late with baby. I've heard that you don't drop if its subsequent pregnancies. You may just be carrying different as things are stretched out or maybe its a different sex than the first one! P.S. Have a look at my VIP site for info on preg, labour, breastfeeding and baby care.

KarenVG - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Normal is a vast range of times as we are all so different. It sounds like you have, My first dropped in the early 30 something weeks but the second didn't til about a week before delivery. at 38 weeks. She was at an angle and her head under my rib until then too so I would say yes to normal if that is what happened.

2xmom - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Hard to tell what normal is, since there's many variations of things. I dropped at 32 weeks, it was even varified by my doctor. She noticed it immediately at my 32 wk checkup. The changes that you noticed sound like you have dropped!
