Does baby lightening/dropping only happen with FTM?

Question

I heard of lightening/dropping with my first and how it can happen anywhere from 2-4 weeks before delivery. However, when looking it up to see when it happens in second or third time mom's I can't find any information. Is this something that's only prominent with FTMs? Because this is baby #2 for me and I sure feel as if baby has dropped.

Answer

All babies drop or they'd never begin their journey down and thru the birth canal. For moms on subsequent pregnancies, it just tends to happen right before labor vs days or weeks before. Obviously, that's just statistically :)

Answer

I'm 6 days overdue and baby still hasn't dropped and this is my first pregnancy. I'm pretty concerned.
