    Smile when does bubs drop???????

    this may sound silly but i have 5 weeks to go today and this morning i have noticed i have dropped a huge amount n have been gettin alot more pressure down below n tummy is very very tight...
    when i was pregnant with my daughter 7 years ago i didnt drop till the last 2 weeks so is it normal to drop this early a friend thinks i will go into labour in the next 2 weeks....

    what can anyone else tell me about bubs dropping and all that stuff

    About 2 weeks ago (35 weeks) I woke up and could see my top few ribs all of a sudden under my boobs! And then felt alot more pressure down low. When I went to the midwives the baby had begun to engage so that explained it. It must coincide with the baby engaging which should be between 34-40 weeks if its your first.

    My bub dropped around 35 weeks, but it's not necessarily an indication that you will go into labour soon - sorry to burst the bubble!

    (Trust me, I got sooooo disappointed when people told me that!!)

    Thankgoodness it doesn't mean any time soon, I'll be 22 weeks in a couple of days and I've already dropped, I carry low anyway, but I had an ultrasound a couple of days ago and the baby's head is now in my pelvis and her feet are up under my ribs, and I've now got a lot of pressure down there, the joy! Maybe I'll be needing those special braces
    Take care all....
