When did your baby drop (lighting)

Question

I'm pregnant with my 3rd child & I feel as bubs has dropped already. 
My question is when did bubs drop with everyone else? I know with more than 1 pregnacey it can happen earlier but I'm only 26wks & 4days. I go to the doc in a wk but wanted 2 know if others had their bubs drop this early.

Answer

The more kids the early they get down in place in your pelvis. I talked to my ob about this 2 weeks ago. I'm also on my third child and have the same cramping I had with the other two at the end of pregnancy. Like when the baby head butts the cervix. With my older two that didn't happen until the end. My ob felt my cervix and explained because this is my third the baby does get down into position sooner. That's why the more kids you have the less likely you are to go overdue. Your body has done it before so it knows what to do better. My cervix is long hard and closed so despite the fear that these pains are causing dilation like they did my other two, they are not actually doing anything. I'm 26 weeks 4 days today.

Answer

Baby #5 dropped at 37.2 weeks. She was born 6 days later. This early it's probably just baby moving around in a deferent position making it appear & feel as if they have dropped.

Answer

Im on my 3rd as well and he is really low in my pelvis already as well. I carried my other 2 higher. Its been the most uncomfortable as far as groin pressure goes :/ My OB said its because Im on my 3rd kiddo & its completely normal.
