Every single person every single baby and every single labor will never be the same :)  some babies don't drop until last min or once ur in labor.  Some drop days before or weeks before. It's tough never know. I know how frustrating it can be on baby number five and last few wks just want it over.  One good thing it will happen for u soon :)  can't stay pregnant forever.  Good luck hope happens soon for u

Well it truly depends. With my first i went to the hospital 7 times thinning i was in labor. By the time i really went into labor i didn't even know. My sister made me go and i went from no centimeters to 5 in less than an hour.

With the second no contractions at all. Just felt like throwing up, went to see my doctor and was at 6 centimeters.

With this third I'm camping out at the hospital...
