    Dropped??

    Ok... Over the past few days I have had 4 people tell me that I have 'dropped'... even my husband.

    This is freaking me out a little, it's too early to have this baby...

    What does it mean... Please help!

    Mel, I don't remember exactly when, but I dropped early with DS, I think it was 32 weeks. Jack arrived 2 days late, so about 8 weeks or so. I think if they drop early it eases some discomforts like reflux, but increases bladder and pelvis pressure so you can't win!! I think once the bub is head down they rarely move, so at least you don't have to worry about it being breech.

    I am around the same time and I keep getting told how low it is getting... I think I have carried low the whole time as It never really got up in my rib cage and have had no indegestion etc as it has sat low..... I think it all depends where the baby sits etc????
