I felt like I could breathe easier. I think it was around 36-37 weeks (both times)
ETA: I had my first on 39w5d.

Ds1 never dropped. He wasn't engaged until I was about ready to push.
This one definitely hasn't yet. Feet are jammed up under my ribs and I'm miserable.

I could look in the mirror and see that she had dropped. I also stopped getting her foot jammed in my ribs. I was around 36-37 weeks.

DD dropped close to the beginning of my third trimester. I went past my EDD with her. With DS I didn't get far enough along to drop.

I noticed it at 38 weeks. I took weekly pictures and she was noticeably lower in my 38 week picture than she was in my 37 week picture. I delivered at 40+3.

DS1 never dropped. I could physically see a big drop between 35-37 weeks with DS2 but I never felt differently.

I remember realizing that i could breathe easier, but that I was waddling more. I compared photos and could see a definite difference. Then at my next appointment the midwife confirmed that she was engaged. I think that was about a week or so before she was born.

I wear ultra low rise jeans, so I never wore maternity pants. At 36+3 they fit perfectly. At 36+4 the button was rubbing against my belly so hard I thought I was going to bleed!
Dropping was VERY noticeable for me.

I def saw myself being lower in photos but I don't remember a specific moment or period of time where I was like, "that's when K dropped"...

No, at my 39 week appointment the midwife said that the baby had dropped a bit and after she mentioned it I thought I noticed.
