They don't often drop until between 39 and 40 weeks. I've seen babies not drop until days before delivery. You can't make baby drop. She has to do that on her own.

I'm just trying to help her drop, I'm 38 weeks& I don't think she's dropped yet.

No. A rocking chair reclines you back to much. If you don't have a yoga or birth ball, your best bet is to sit on the edge of the couch. It also has nothing to do with the rocking motion but position your body is in. A figure 8 motion of your hips is a better motion. Bouncing also does nothing so ignore those suggestions.
Keep in mind, it does nothing until you are in the inactive phase of labor or further progressed.

Ugh, I don't have a yoga ball:(

I'm not sure ticking in a rocking chair would help as your hips aren't spreading. I've always been told rocking and bouncing on a yoga ball is a great way to help
