yes i did at 34 weeks it means the baby has moved into the birthing position changed from feet first to head first,the weirdest feeling ever too cuz it felt like my tummy was falling out of me i used to walk around holding my tummy up haha,about 5 days later i was going through the labour stages like the draining of my body waste(I'm sure u know where i'm going with this)After that i had what i would havbe called them period pains like cramps everyone asked me if it was labour pains but i had no idea what that ment,well went to the hospital and turned out i was 6cm already 15mins later i gave birth to a lil 5 lbs 12oz 19 inch baby boy
my best advice is go see your doctor to see if ur lining is thining like mine was...and if they say stay off your feet lol stay off ur feet

Thats totally normal, the baby starts getting his position to make his way through the birth canal. However, it can still be a few weeks before labor starts. I started dropping around 36 weeks too and my son was born 3 days after his due date

Every woman is different and labor can last as short as 4 minutes to many hours. Since you have noticed that the baby has dropped you should not have to wait much longer, the end of the pregnancy is coming soon.

Very normal the last month! Can you put your hand between your bust and stomach yet? Nothing to be alarmed about! That means the baby has dropped in to position! Your doc visits should be starting every wk. now.
Congratulations and best wishes!

the dropping down is the baby getting into position for the birth ..wont be long now that the head has engaged, u will find it easier to breathe now to..good luck.

Wish I could tell you how long after I went into labor, but I can't, they had to induce due to toxemia, Just wanted to tell you You will soon be meeting that bundle of Joy! hope all goes well!!

You are there honey. Welcome to motherhood. You can go into labor at anytime now. It usually happens 7-10 days after the drop but can happen as early as 2 days from the noticeable drop

yeah thats one of the signs labor comes next. when your stomach drops down the baby is preparing itself for labor. Good luck to you!!!!
