I am 32 weeks pregnant and everyone says i am carring very low. People that see me everyday say my belly has dropped a lot the last week. My grandma said my baby is so low that he will have to crawl back up to get out. Is this cause for concern? How long after the baby drops does labor usually happen? Can anyone share their stories bout this with me please.Thank you.

Don't worry... you probably still have a while to go (ony being 32 weeks). I never really "dropped" but my friend was carrying pretty low for a few weeks before she went into labor. Every woman is different. I wouldn't be concerned if I were you. If you are just bring it up at your next appointment with your ob/gyn.
Best wishes! And congratulations on the forthcoming arrival!

Everyone is different. The baby dropping is no real indication of when you will go into labor. My daughter "dropped" two months before she was born. I was also fully effaced and dilated 4cm for over a month! Just relax and enjoy the remainder of your pregnancy. Don't stress. Pretty soon you will have a beautiful baby and you'll barely remember the last 9 months!! Congratulations!

When Does Your Baby Drop

When your belly drops, it's a sign that the baby is getting ready for labour. However, some people carry lower than others, it depends on your pregnancy, your body shape and how you're carrying your pregnancy. I have heard of womens belly's dropping up to 10 weeks before they actually went into labour. If your doctor isn't concerned, I wouldn't worry about it.

Some people drop weeks before they give labor and some a few days before. It will be soon though! Good luck!

If it's your first baby you could have a couple of weeks to go yet, with my first one she dropped about 4 weeks before she was born. One of my babies was always down pretty low all the time. Best of luck I hope you don't have too long a wait

Babies usually drop 4-6 weeks before delivery.
I carried both my babies low during my entire pregnancy, but people around me could tell when they dropped. I still had a long time before baby came. They were both full term (even induced) and over 8 pounds (one almost 10!).

I dropped about two weeks ago. I am 37 weeks now and baby is still at plus 2 station with his head... so there's still more descending to be done. It just means that baby has engaged himself head down into the pelvis and is preparing to come out... no real date after that he will come out though. :)

OUt of 4 kids, all 4 dropped, 3 had to be induced, and one of those 3 had to have the water popped.
Trust your doctor. If you feel like your water is leaking, go straight to the er
