Well in my book and my doc told me that some babies could drop up to eight weeks before u deliver. It all depends on the person. I guess the only way to tell if labour is comin soon is contractions and dilation/
.

Ive heard it can be as much as 8 but in everything ive read, along with what my doctors told me , its most commonly 2-4 weeks before delivery.Also ive heard its less likely to drop once ur past your 1st pregnancy and many peopel in their 2nd or 3rd may not drop until labor begins.
