My belly never dropped and i always carried low.

Dont worry top much about other people - for some reason when you are pregnant everyone thinks they have the right to make what ever comments they like at you!

You dr can usually tell you by feel if but is engaged but he can slip in and out right up to birth,

DD was head down from 20 weeks and never moved other spun (breakdanced) from side to side on her head but 3 days b4 she was born the dr said i was only 1 /5 (least amount) engaged! so it happened pretty quickly

good luck with the birth
