Bump "dropped" - what does this mean?

[MummaSue]

Hey guys,

People have been telling me for the past few days that my bump has dropped. I've noticed this myself. I was really high up and now it's significantly lower.

Does this mean anything at all?
I'm just curious!!

Thanks in advance
Sue xx

It usually means that your baby has engaged

Hehe, how exciting.

OMG! This is really happening.

*trying not to freak out*

yeah it is usually a sign that bubba is engaging. they can still float around a bit apparently...but for me she stuck there and didnt budge until the day she arrived. makes sitting down all the more *interesting* as their head butts against the cervix LOL!

I am not sure if my bump has dropped, but have been feeling a lot more pressure lower down the past few days. I feel like i need to wee, just after i have already gone. I was thinking bubmust have gone a bit lower.

Yes this usually means that your baby has engaged and yes your baby can float out again
