He's dropped 32+4 do I need to call midwife

[Cerealaddict]

So I'm 32+4 and yesterday evening I felt so much more pressure on bladder and this morning really noticing that I can breathe again, I actually took a bumpfie last week and my bump is def less rounded at top now, I've done the dreaded googling and they say up to 4 weeks before labour is normal but I'm 7.5 weeks from EDD, do I call midwife?

No I wouldn't. I'm 37 weeks and my bump has been low for a while now. Doesn't mean your baby will appear anytime soon, I'm still waiting!

No. The midwife isn't going to do anything. Its all normal.

No. DS dropped and then went back up several times from about 32 weeks onwards before making an appearance at 38+5. Completely normal, nothing to worry about :) just your body getting ready.

Brill, thanks ladies, Bloody google! Got to make it to 39+1 for Sept baby as planned from back in Oct 2012 (didn't expect to get preg first month of trying) so I'm on edge worrying about being early

Hi cereal, I'm also 32w4d and bump has got much lower this last few days. I am not experiencing pain in my pelvis and pressure. People have commented how low I am carrying now too.

I'll speak to my MW at my next appointment in a couple of weeks but as baby was measuring 34 weeks at 31 (on a scan) I'm not too worried. I think he'll come when he's ready, however uncomfortable I am! Hope all goes well =)

*now not not =/

All normal and as much as people say there is a pattern, it makes no odds in the end. Love Shush, mother of ds who turns 14 in the middle of August....his mother was carrying very high 2 weeks before the birth and was advised that there was no chance of baby this side of September. Midwife turned out to be a comedian!

I'm 36 wks and been 4/5th engaged since 32 wks. I never really noticed anything change (I'm having a small baby I think) but mw says that may well be him now.

I was 4/5 engaged with DC1 from 34 weeks and he was 11 days late...
