I know my Dr. said he's dropped and in position, if you go into labor early we don't try to stop it at this point. So I am assuming he thinks I may go early.

I dropped 2 weeks before I had my daughter. Everyone is different but I've heard anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks. Really doesn't narrow it down. I would say it's just a step closer but be sure to keep aware of the signs of labor.
