how can you tell if stomach is dropping?

Question

Just curious...

Answer

I've been carrying low already. Dropped a couple days ago and the only reason I noticed was because my boobs were no longer resting on my belly 😂. Then I started noticing more pelvic pain before noticing being able to breathe a little easier.

Answer

I can't tell and I'm on number three...

Answer

My doc had to tell me I had dropped... my fundal height actually got shorter from my 36 week apt to my 37 week apt. That's how she could tell, I guess!

Answer

When they do a cervix check.

Answer

I didn't think/realize mine had dropped until I went in for my appointment today at 38+1 and they told me he had definitely dropped.

Answer

Wondering the same thing.. I don't feel so short of breath anymore but doesn't look like she dropped... Looks lower in 34 week picture... But I can barely walk and if my pants in the front where any lower you could see my entire lady section.

Answer

Some people say you'll be able to breathe easier and will have the urge to pee more often. However I've been carrying low my whole pregnancy so I didn't have the shortness of breath problem and baby boy has been on my bladder since the start.

I noticed when I experienced more pelvic pressure and when I looked at my belly it looked like a tear drop and not a basketball anymore

At 30 weeks

The other day just before 36 weeks but I "dropped" at 34 weeks

Answer

I asked my dr.

Answer

37 weeks versus 39 .

Answer

I had a lot of friends and family that thought I looks lower. My OB could tell when he measured me because my uterus wasn't as high as it use to be. He also could tell when he checked my cervix because her head was lower down. You could ask your OB at your next appointment if you're not sure! :)
