Remind me when the baby 'drops' and you can breathe again...

[notnowbernard]

Because at 29w I cannot get a proper lungful

And am having to sit bolt upright all the time in order to exist

(YKWIM!)

With me at about 34-35 weeks with all three, but with many woman it's closer to 40 weeks or even labour.

40 weeks!! oh my god! i am 35 weeks and can only get comfort when i stand up! this is my first, was hoping would have another week or so....

My bump dropped yesterday! and I am only just 31 weeks. is this normal??? (sorry to hijack your thread notnowbernard)

No hijack worries at all

This is my 3rd so was thinking it might drop sooner

I am 38+ weeks and baby dropped 2 or 3 days ago. I can now eat and breathe not choose one or the other and sleep lying down again. Tis heaven I tell you, absolute heaven!

About 6 hours before he took his first breath

Good Luck!!

My bump is yet to drop and I'm due next week!

I have to sit upright all the time too, I feel your pain. Can't wait to be able to breathe again

I thought that it was far more likely to drop in the first pregnancy, but not subsequent pregnancies? Mine dropped at 34/35 weeks (now 37), and it has made a tremendous difference. Heartburn disappeared, and I feel like I can breathe!

The only thing is that the pelvis pain increased, but I guess you can't win them all
