@dlacey ... I got checked for dialation last week & my doc said my babies head is very low, but his feet are still stuck in my ribs. She said you'll know a baby has dropped when you feeling "lightening" you'll be able to breathe better & the bottom of your belly will feel heavy. I've read in other forums if you take weekly pregnancy pics your belly will also look lower in pics.

My doc said baby can drop the day you go into labor, no one really knows for sure. I wish we did. One week til my due date. Can't wait to meet my lil man!

With my first my son dropped at 28weeks and i didn't have him till 35weeks when they took him by c section.
Im two days shy of 32weeks with this pregnancy and my daughter dropped last week. She won't be coming anytime soon either. Lol.
