I'm 33 weeks along, and I had one late baby and one 5 weeks preterm. With this pregnancy I dropped almost all the way already. I had my first son 11yrs ago and I don't remember whether I dropped a week or two before delivering. With my daughter a year and a half ago, I don't remember dropping at all, but I carried pretty low since early in my pregnancy anyway. I knew she was coming early but 5 weeks was still sooner than I expected. Now with my 3rd on the way and having carried high just like with the first I'm quite confused. Does anyone have any idea about how long it is estimated that you drop before you actually deliver. I remember about two weeks but I'm not at all sure anymore. I'd appreciate the help since I don't want to scare my mom! Thanks

"Dropping" or lightening or engagement usually occurs around the 36th week and is not always a sign of labor following soon. Three children of my own (2, 3 and 8).

Usually four weeks before delivery.
