Q: I Think I Dropped.... Is It Too Early?

I used to carry very high and now i'm carring lower I think...It feels like I lost about 5 or 10 lbs!!! Is this normal? I also have to pee like every 20-30 minutes... If you drop, it doesn't mean that i'm gonna go into labor in a few days does it? I have a small amount of pressure on my lower back and butt. I'm 30 weeks and its my first pregnancy, and i'm due august 25th.....Is it normal to drop this soon?? Is it to early? Is my baby going to come early?

It is very normal to drop early in your first preg, I also dropped at about 30 wks. I noticed that this is about your 4th post about different things, why dont you get a app to get a check up (if you arent due for one for a while) it will put your mind to rest about everything.
