October

I'm due October 29th,2015. My belly has dropped and everyone's saying I'm going to have him the first week of October. Is that bad or does it ever happen?

37 weeks is considered full term but because baby dropped already doesn't mean u will have him way before. Especially not a month b4 ur due date. It's still early that he can move up again. N then drop again. Or he can just stay low for a full month.

That is so exciting! I have heard that anytime after 36 weeks is full term. Either way, as mentioned above, babies are born earlier too. After you get to the third teimester, babies have a 95% chance of survival and each week that chance increases! Just be excited :) I'd love my little man to be here earlier (I'm due the 27th) but he's still stubbornly exploring my ribs. Good luck!

Anytime from 37 weeks on is considered full term.  And yep,  babies are born that early or earlier all the time.
