Q: Baby Dropping?

Ok so remember my last appt? Well I was measuring 3 weeks small all the sudden after measuring normally this whole time.. Well they did the ultrasound and I was still measuring 35 weeks, not smaller afterall.. Well anyhow, ive been reading and in my pregnancy books it says when the baby drops, u may notice that u measure smaller all the sudden because the baby moved down lower into the pelvis and at the ultrsound she was saying she couldn’t see his face because he was so deep in the pelvis. Do you think that this is maybe what happened then???? I know normally it doesn’t occur until around 2 weeks before delivery most the time..But my mom said that witth my brother (her first) that he dropped 6 weeks b4! Anyhow so im wondering if maybe that happened. I have a docs appt today but I don’t see the actual doctor because hes in surgery so I have to wait a week from today to see him. I am 36 weeks today by the way! J

Hey
i read somewheres that a baby can actually drop up to 8 weeks before ur delivery date. Have u been breathing easier and felt less pain in ur ribs? Thats usually a sign of the baby dropping. Also, people suddenly get stretchmarks when they baby drops. I think mine might have (not sure) but im gona ask my doc at my next appt so if u ask ur doc, she should be able to tell u if he did or not Smile
