Time frame for "dropping" to labour????

[proudmama]

was just curious on the stats (for thse that remember) on the time frame from when you notice your belly had dropped to when you went into labour???

i'm 36wk+3 today and have dropped significantly so was wondering if it were wise to put my plan of action into action or not (DH is away on the other side of the country for the next three weeks and my support ppl aren't exactly 5min down the road so they'll need to be prepped and ready if i think it'll happen soon)

realy depends
with DD (born 36+4days) droped the day before(my last day at work with no bags packed!) with Ds(born 37 ) it was about 30 weeks
but id get ready just incase

I dropped at around 37 weeks (2nd bub too) and am currently 40 + 4 so it isn't really an indication of going into labour early (though I hoped it was!).

with my first i dropped at 39 weeks + 2 days and had her that same day 5 hours later. So i guess it depends on your body.
