    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?

    Lime, I think I didn't drop with the other 3 because they were all ridiculously long babies, so even though they engaged, they used the extra room to stretch out.
