how do you know when the baby has dropped? im 35 weeks this friday...?

Question

nice answers only please this is my first!

i mean i turn 35 weeks this thursday

Answer 1

I could tell, because 1 day I woke up and I didn't look pregnant anymore and I had a ton of energy. Not everyone drops though. I never dropped with my first 2 and this time I dropped at 32 weeks.

Answer 2

It won't feel like you have the babies entire body in your ribs and you will be going to the bathroom more. Your friends/family will probably notice also as your stomach will look a little lower. However, that is not always the case. Some people don't drop until right before going into labor. That usually happens in first pregnancies. Good luck!

Answer 3

not everyone does drop, im 40 weeks 4 days and still havent dropped. From what I hear it is easier to breath, and there is increased pressure on the pelvis when the baby does drop.
Let me tell you, I hope to god you drop before your dr. does an internal, definitely not comfortable when your baby is still sitting right under your breasts (think sex with Tommy Lee)

Answer 4

Generally the doc has to look and tell you if she/he's lower in the pelvis.

Though some signs are peeing more and hip pain. Your appearance might have changed too.

Some women don't drop until they're in labor....I didn't.

Answer 5

you will feel 10 pounds lighter and you will be able to breathe better. alot less pressure will be on your lungs ect.

Answer 6

More or less comfortable, easier to breathe, feel like you have to 'go' more, etc.

Answer 7

about another week and a half. And believe me, you feel it happen. It does not hurt so don't worry. It's actually kinda funny when it does happen.

Answer 8

your stomach will drop

Answer 9

you can breathe easier, but you pee more!
