    I'd get other people telling me i had or i hadn't which ended up confusing me no end. I had lots of painful pelvic twinges from 35-36 week mark that would make me double over but they eased after a week or two.

    During the labour of DD i felt the head drop during active labour. With my boys i never felt it, probably because i was stuck on a bed.

    I only ever dropped with DD1 - so second baby. But even then it wasn't till just after labour started. The other 3 never dropped, even though they were engaged.

    Huh. Well there you go!

    This one has been low throughout the whole preg, despite my bump being quite in the middle. But she has been head down for a couple of weeks now, and been pushing on my cervix the whole time too anyhow...
    Maybe I won't get a drop! lol
    Oooh it is all quite random really isn't it?
