How far into the pg are you.

My bump dropped about 2weeks ago. I am 38+2weeks with 3rd baby

Mine was quite sudden sorry.... didnt read your question properly. But bump is constnatly up and down, mainly down though now

I woke up one morning and it had descended. I only remember because after that point I needed to wee almost constantly!

It means nothing. I dropped at 22 weeks, I gave birth at 43 weeks.

Oh that's fine don't worry. Often it happens when the baby moves and you get a sudden lurch - but hey, now you can breathe AND eat a full meal. But you will become a frequent loo visitor!

there is so much activity around my pubic area now, i can put my hand there and feel her moving.

my partner and i were reading some graphics, and the great majority of babies are born 3/4 days before their due date...

not long now PPS!

love to see those statistics!!

babies can pop in and out of being engaged,but you can notice a sudden drop.....and notice a need to wee a lot more!
but it is easier to breathe!

I didn't have a drop! DS was always quite low and 2/5 engaged from 32 wks and fully engaged at 36 wks. Born on edd. It was more gradual for me.
