When do you drop? 🤔

Question

I feel like "dropping" is one of those things that happens but does mean much in the way of our pregnancy except baby is engaged and ready to go! 
BUT!!
When does it normally happen???

Answer

It's most common to drop between 34 and 38 weeks. While it might not mean much in terms of labor it will definitely help with your beeathing. I just dropped this week and I'm 34 weeks. It's my 3rd baby.

Answer

You're right, it doesn't mean anything, and infact some women never really drop, or notice if they do. And some drop early on. So it's hard to say!

Answer

My baby engages and disengages fairly regularly! It’s fairly common in moms who have had multiple kiddos! Typically first time moms don’t see baby engage until a few days or week before labor (but that’s a general rule, not always the case)

Answer

I have definitely dropped..34wks and 4days this is my second pregnancy...with my first i didn’t drop until about a few days before delivery 38wks.

Answer

I never actually “dropped” with my first. He engaged but there was no visible drop in my bump because I have a short torso. But I see a lot of women start to drop near 34 weeks

Answer

My childbirth class said baby engages head at about 36 weeks for first time mums.... for second, third+ time mums baby doesn’t engage until right near delivery
