Baby drop

How does it feel when baby drops? Any pain or discomfort associated with it. I'm already 37 weeks and 2 days and nothing...matter of fact baby curls up onto my ribs. Lol as much as I love feeling his moves and kicks and sudden stretches, I'm excited to feel and see him drop. It will mean he is ready to come out right? Whenever the time comes, I guess. But I'm just excited to know.

with my son it wasn't too bad pain wise but we could watch him go from side to side.   The people at work were coming over to see what side he was on.   That was the Wednesday, my last day of work, and I had him on Friday.

Oh wow interesting. My cousin delivered not long ago and she dropped at 35 weeks delivered at 37. Every one is different,  I understand. Thank you ladies for the insight. Now we play the waiting game.

Not really painful but you will probably feel lots of pressure in your pelvic lower back and hips. You will probably have to pee all the time because you bladder will have so much pressure. It can be very uncomfortable lol. Sometimes it means baby is coming soon but baby can drop and stay low for weeks. My baby has already dropped and I am only 28 weeks my other two didn't drop until I was already in labour.
