Hi, I was wondering how you tell if you have dropped or lightening has occured? I have read that your uterus should be two or three inches below your ribs if it has occured. Does this mean when you are standing or sitting or both? When I stand, there is definitely 2-3 inches more room, my pelvis hurts sometimes and sometimes I get sharp pains behind my pubic bone, which I have read could be the babys head pushing down or turning. However, when I sit, it feels like my uterus is still up high. I dont have problems breathing and I dont get heartburn or indigestion so I cant use those things as a tool for figuring this out. I also tried to measure my fundal height but I dont know how accurate Im doing it. When I lay down it measures about 32cm-33cm. That could be a sign Im either doing it wrong or that the baby has dropped or that the baby is in a different position so I cant say for sure. Im in my 37th week and I have an appt this wednesday. What are your thoughts?
