Dropping

**Seekrit** · 28-06-2006 13:48

I'm just wondering when people "dropped" in particular with their first pregnancy.

I'm 37 weeks (

) and carried high throughout this pregnancy, she's still quite high.. 2 weeks ago she was only 4/5 engaged and posterior.. I assume she's still the same. I just haven't dropped at all and I guess it just worries me a bit because I wouldn't mind her popping out at any time.. but preferably before they threaten to induce. heh.

People keep commenting that "Oh she won't be ready for a while, you're still too high." so I just don't know! heh!

Thanks

I didn't drop unitl about half way through a 2 day labour with DD1........

DD2 was in between my knees from about 38 weeks

I dropped around 35/36 weeks

And I had a c-section at 12 days overdue. Ozzy's head never engaged at all either I can't remember what 5ths extra that is but it was the one where the babies head is still free and swaying side to side (did that even make sense)!

My dd didn't actually drop untill I was in labour.

Her little head stayed just near my hip until just before she was born.

So don't worry, Your little bubba will move there when she wants to.

My belly looked the same the whole way through, no noticable drop after giving birth I had a look in the mirror and my bump was gone!!! (just a bit of wobbly skin

very funny) (Good Luck!!! not long to go now

)

You girls serve me well

I stop worrying about when she's going to drop and start worrying about the twinge in my back and abs instead!

Thanks

With the risk of sounding even more cantakerous than i have already today

Get down on them hands & knees girly !!!!

Make that baby mooooove !!!

Boof engaged early & my tummy dropped a little but i never felt it ..... Found out why when he finally decided to grace us with his presence yep all 57cms of him

He thought nudging my ribs was his job in life .... Mind you he still does

hahaha maybe after judge judy I'll scrub the bathroom tiles! i hands and kneed it doin the shower yesterday!

(the floors in this house look dirty AFTER mopping. I think that scrubbing the buggers is the only way!)

Boof's in good company, btw, I was 57cm when born myself

allyou lucky ladies who's bubs didn't drop until labour. beth decided to drop at 26 weeks and stay engaged. try walking around for 15 weeks with a watermelon in your pants. (at least that is what it felt like). she was very good at planting a fist into my bladder too. (not like i wasn't already peeing enough anyway)
