Belly dropping!

I hit 30 weeks tomro and when I woke up this morning my belly has dropped! Has any of you ladies belly dropped yet? It seems kind of early! Especially since this is my third pregnancy and I read online that after youve had one baby your belly doesn't drop until your closer to labor because your body doesn't need as much time to prepare! Which makes me wonder if she will be here early. I do wear a belly band cus I've been having issues with pressure but I don't wear it to sleep. My belly is low! I went to bed with boob to belly and I wake up with belly to thigh lmao I've had both my girls at 37 weeks.... I know it's hard to say when baby will b here but now I'm wondering if I'll have her in the next few weeks. (A pregnancy website said about 4 weeks!I'm hoping she stays put for 6 minimum)

I'm 32wks and my sister actually said something that i had really dropped.  I haven't actually noticed it.  He has always been really low.  Dr pointed out where the head was last time we were there and it seems about the same spot as always to me.

That does sound early, but with my first, she dropped the day I went in to labor (rare from what I've heard but also thank god from what I've heard...). My little guy seemed to have re-positioned oddly and seemed pretty low the other day but is back poking my ribs again. Hopefully, it's a temporary move and you won't been uncomfortable for the next number of weeks!

I don't believe everything I read online but the sites are reputable and not opinions from other moms. The sources were like parent magazine and pregnancy.com or something similar. I understand the back pain! I've had that and pelvic pressure even like a stabbing feeling! I guess this is the part where we end up being so uncomfortable and just ready to have our babies!

Huh.  Didn't know all that stuff.  Well, I dropped at 31 weeks and just like you, it happened overnight.  I'm really really low now and my back hurts.  ;(
