Hey...I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I think the baby has "dropped" but for some reason I now feel like my stomach is smaller and I feel that it is easier for me to do stuff like bending again..I'm not feeling a lot of pain in my pelvic region just from time to time...Has anyone else felt this?...Please answer..Worried...

Hi..I am 37 weeks pregnant and I have heard that if you can get one hand under your boobs again then the baby has dropped..But now I have tons of pressure and pain in my pelvis and my doctor told me that it is because the baby's head had dropped....Most people will tell you that once you start noticing the pressure between your legs get worse and you feel like you have a bowling ball there thats when you know the baby has dropped...I know before my baby's head lowered that there were days that I could bend and breathe better but he was still up high at that time...Next time you go to your doctor just ask him/her and then you will know for sure what is going on...Good luck=) tiffany
