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?

it sounds like he's dropped to me. The pain and pressure in the pelvis are the #1 clue. Sitting down makes no difference, there never anyroom in that position anyway!
Here's to hoping labor is sooner rather than later! My son dropped over 4 weeks before he was born, I had to spend a month with a baby practacallly between my knees!!!

You may or may not notice a change in the shape of your abdomen after dropping. You may notice that your breathing becomes easier and heartburn occurs less frequently after dropping occurs. However, the increased pressure on your bladder after dropping occurs may make you have the urge to urinate more often. Some babies will drop 2 to 4 weeks before delivery, while others may not drop right up until birth.

it incredibly isn't any longer elementary to declare. distinctive absolutely everyone seems to be very annoying on those alpha arbutin, MSM, Chamomile, honey, what-have-you eye drops because of the fact quite of answering your question they only say "Love your eyes," "attempt colored contacts," and "do no longer take any risks." you recognize there's a danger, and coloured contacts are on no account reasonable sufficient for human beings to be no longer able to tell that they are no longer organic. you could continuously tell. besides, right this is my answer: I incredibly have been taking alpha arbutin and mdm eye drops for very practically a month. I have been given the MSM off amazon. i'm no longer telling you the place the arbutin eyedrops are from because of the fact the supplier is amazingly impolite and that i do no longer want to assist his/her organisation. I incredibly have evidently amber/honey-brown eyes, and that i want to have eco-friendly/hazel eyes. i've got been retaining a photo log of my progression, and from what i will tell, my eyes have lightened a sprint, and the tiny rings of blue that i've got continuously had have grown better and greater distinctive. My eyesight remains suitable. probably better than it was. it incredibly isn't any longer asserting it fairly won't harm your eyes, so please do no longer sue me if it does, haha. Now right this is the element: I did distinctive study on those drops and from what i will collect, no longer absolutely everyone can get an significant eye-lightening from those drops. in case you have been born with blue eyes that progressively became brown by the time you have been 2, you have a stable risk of having consequences. in case you have been born with brown eyes, you will possibly no longer have plenty success. human beings of coloration will fairly no longer have the skill to realize a watch coloration exchange, even with the undeniable fact that they might have the skill to get a coloration or 2 lighter. My hypothesis is which you would be able to easily lighten your eyes to a coloration they have been till now (i.e. the colour you have been born with) yet i'm no longer a scientist. desire this enables!
