    Question From dropping to popping ?

    I am just wondering how long it was from when you "dropped" to when you gave birth?
    I know I know .... how long is a piece of string right?

    Anyone's guess what will happens for you, but with Ds I only noticeably dropped the day labour started. I might have begun to earlier but it was really noticeable on the day. Dd I was induced and I never noticed the drop, I'm guessing I was already on the drip when it happened.

    I dropped this time last year! Baby was born about 50 hours later - but we did hurry her along a little. I don't think it would have been more than 3 days if we hadn't.

    As you probably know people were telling me I had dropped for weeks but I actually couldn't see any difference until my waters broke the day before I had this one.

    Hope you're holding your bub very soon!

    With dd1 I never dropped, dd2 not sure either but with ds I dropped at the shops and labour started a few hours later but that was at 34 weeks, stayed in labour until the cheeky thing arrived at 39+5 when my waters finally broke.

    Wow so it really is a case of "how long is a piece of string" darn!!!

    Bump has dropped significantly in the last 2-3 daysand her movements (while still 10 on the kick board) are getting few and further between,I know it will be soon coz we're 40 weeks next saturday and I am yet to make my due date. I was just hoping it would be more of a tell tale signthat things were progressing and not too far off ...... one can dream

    Thanks ladies x x x x

    DS - what drop?

    This one - dropped a few days ago but other than knowing he's significantly lower due to the horrendous pain in my pelvis I don't think he's coming anytime soon, but of course you never no

    with DD1 I dropped 12 hours before my waters broke, she was born about 18 hours after they broke and the actual labour was about 6 hours. With DD2 I dont think she dropped until my waters broke at the start of labour. Good luck
