Did you experience your baby dropping?

Question

If you did can you tell me how different it felt. Did you experience “lightening”? Any other discomfort?

Answer

2nd baby and I’m 35 weeks, head so deep in my pelvis if he drops anymore I think he will just fall out. Uncomfortable walking (especially up stairs), you can definitely feel your leg/hip area rubbing on baby’s head when you walk. With first baby when she dropped into my pelvis it felt like I got punched in my pelvic bone. Only hurt for a split second, but it was a weird feeling

Answer

Yes an the main discomfort is the muscles  ot used to her being in that area and it hurts til u get used to it

Answer

Both of my boys decided not to drop. My first one I was in labor for 20 hours before he descended, and my second never did, he was an emergency c-section at 39+5

Answer

Walking got very uncomfortable and lots of pressure.

Answer

Definitely started to drop around 36 weeks or so. Became more uncomfortable to just move, sit etc. As he continues to drop I’ve noticed more pelvic pressure and having to pee a hell of a lot more (didn’t even know that was possible, considering I was already peeing a crap ton) 😂.  Around 38 weeks or so is when I started to notice the lighting thing and let me tell you it ain’t a pleasant thing but at the same time it only last a couple seconds normally. It’s kinda like getting a little shock / cramp kinda thing... changing positions tends to help with getting it less. Your belly also feels more heavy as you drop I’ve noticed. Plus I’ve been having way more lower back pain/ back contractions.

Answer

I got lightening but my baby didn’t drop

Answer

My baby dropped around 36 weeks, definitely felt a lot more pressure in my crotch, I could feel her head in my pelvis especially when walking around. It also got a lot easier to breath and no longer felt like my lungs were being crushed when I would sit down
