For me, that didn't mean anything about labor, but each pregnancy I carried lower, and for lo3, labor was pretty quick and went smoothly, and my dr attributed that a lot to how low she was sitting. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-dropping#post-2841715 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 10:10:40 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2841715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: definitely can be gradual, sudden, or not at all. Haha! One of those great things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-dropping#post-2841663 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 19:19:38 +0000 petitenoisette 2841663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can’t really tell either, maybe you look a bit lower I’m the second pic. I don’t think I dropped with my pregnancies either so I don’t really get it! </p> <p>I too decided to vacuum out my car at like 39 weeks pregnant so I fully understand the sweaty mess thing but you look great! In the home stretch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-dropping#post-2841660 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 19:12:27 +0000 crazydoglady 2841660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I'm kind of wondering if it can be a gradual thing? And I know dropping doesn't mean labor is imminent or anything, but just feels different.<br /> @pachamama: Thanks! I feel like such a sweaty mess most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-dropping#post-2841659 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 19:09:38 +0000 pachamama 2841659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't tell too much of a drop, but you and your bump are so cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-dropping#post-2841657 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 19:00:54 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2841657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of tricky to tell based on your shirts (if they were totally formfitting it would be easier to see any differences), but it does look a bit lower and based more on how you describe how you feel then it sounds like the baby is lower!</p> <p>Neither of my kids dropped until I was in labour so I never noticed a visual or physical difference, but I have seen people whose belly’s look vastly different when the baby drops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-dropping#post-2841655 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 18:41:13 +0000 crazydoglady 2841655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never dropped with my son until I was actually in labor, so this is new to me. I am 38 weeks with #2 and, over the past couple days, I have felt like I could breathe a bit better, but my pelvis feels more engaged. At my appt yesterday, the dr said he could feel her head even though I am only 1 cm dialted. Is this dropping? It's completely forgein to me.</p> <p>Pic on left is from 37 weeks and right is today at 38. Please excuse messy bun, I got it in my head to vacuum out the car.</p> <p>[attach=8671/18/pdzogq.600x600.IMG_20180824_163258_333000.png] </p>
