Is this your first baby? - as they say you drop a few weeks early with your first but with later pregnancies maybe not until mush closer to the time.  Every pregnancya nd women is different so what 'they' say is not always the case.  Mention it to your doc but i wouldn't worry, i dropped at around that time with my first and ended up going to term.
