Ok what exactly does "dropped" mean????? My doc says tru is head down and in position. Does that mean she dropped? I noticed about a week ago that my belly looked lower, but I thought 31 weeks was waaaay too soon to have dropped already. Anybody know?

Brooklyn dropped early, aound that time... She was head down from around week 27-30, I cant remember when I had him check, but it was sometime around there. Brooklyn couldnt wait to get out though... When I was only 3 cm dialated, her head was so low, where it should have been if I was 7 cm... The doctor said he was suprised that she didnt just fall out of me Laughing im sure that if I wasnt sitting up the night I went into labor I would have been one of them people that give birth on the way to the hospital... My contractions werent painful at all, no worse than the braxton hicks I was getting, its just that they were 2-3 minutes apart, and they didnt stop after an hour, they wouldnt have woken me up til it was too late lol.

Lol Dr. Checked my cervix, and her head is right there. He was going on about how big her head is, and turns out wth an ultra sound yesterday that her head is about 9cms. She is also about 7lbs 3oz. Smile got just about 2 weeks to go, but cervix is compleatly closed still. Sad i'm so wishing things start moving along!! Nikki is a bugger for going early! Smile
