baby dropped at 6 months ?

hey i am 6months pregnant and my baby girl
is overly active kicking me constantly day
and night. I am not showing very much
because i use to have very tight stomach
muscles. However all of a sudden she has
gone from 'swinging from my ribcage' to
kicking below where my undies sit. I'm
worried coz i heard this is the lightening
which generally happens 4weeks before
baby. But thats too early!!! I can't
deliver in four weeks she will be under
developed. I can't go to a dr firstly
cause I don't want to look stupid if its
nothing, plus my hospital's waiting
section takes hours, and secondly because
it is a public holiday. Can anyone help
me? Also my stomach grumbles so loudly is
that bad for my bubb? I'm just always
hungry haha

all pregnancies are different. call your
doctor if you are worried, but it sounds
like it's nothing. Some babies drop early,
some never drop at all. Your doctor is
there to ease your mind, especially if
this is your first pregnancy. I ask my
doctor about every little thing, just to
make sure. Good Luck!

You're welcome. I'm a month away from my
due date, and I'm surprised my doctor
isn't on speed dial for how many times I
call her, lol.

I'm 7 months and having alot of movement
in my pelvis for the past month. Sometimes
I even get kicks/punches to my cervix that
hurt pretty bad. Not to mention the
constant need to pee  My placenta
is at the top of my uterus so I don't feel
much movement up there. I don't think you
have anything to worry about unless you
start bleeding or having contractions. And
don't worry about the grumbling tummy.
It's just a digestion noise that the baby
can hear like your heartbeat.

I'm glad my baby flipped, cause I remember
those kicks to the cervix. Felt like it's
foot was in my vagina!! Now it just kicks
my pelvis and ribs, and all the organs in
between. Why don't women tell us how
painful it is DURING pregnancy?! Lol, oh
well, it'll be worth it!!

the kicks could hurt sometimes. i didn't
think it was too bad though, unless a kick
woke me up in the middle of the night.
it's the interruption of sleep that
sucked.

my daughter was in my plevis really really
low down the ENTIRE time (so low i had to
have 3 different ultrasounds around 20
weeks because she wouldnt come up so we
could see her lol) try not to worry to
much about it, maybe bring it up to your
doc at your next appointment
also the baby moves around a lot, lowering
doesnt mean dropping all the time and
dropping doesnt mean iminate labor....i
remember i dropped like 2 or 3 months
before i had my daughter then again like 2
weeks before then again a couple days
before 
and, you tummy grumbling soothes your
baby, the noise is good, she will actualy
look for that noise when she comes out

hey in response to what i wrote ... after
posting that i ended up going to the
hospital to check everything was alright
and they ended up sending me via ambulance
to a bigger hospital as i had actually
gone into labour. they managed to stop
contractions as i was only 6months
pregnant and i am still 1cm dialated and i
have been checked every week since. turns
out if i hadn't of gone with my gut
feeling and gone into hospital i would of
delivered that night. bit scary hey..

im 22weeks and 4days pregnant, i feel my
baby kick low in my pelvis area too, i
dont feel any kicks up higher, always
below. Does that mean my baby is just
sitting low, or has he or she dropped
too?
I haven't needed multiple ultrasounds
because they always see the baby right
away, but should i be feeling movement a
little higher up as well as down below?

No, this means she is not in the head down
position. It means her feet are low and
her head is up. It is natural you feel the
kicks where her feet are.

Well she is getting bigger and that will
continue to happen. Plus, you are feeling
her movements more the bigger and stronger
she gets. As far as 'dropping', a lot of
women don't drop and, honestly, dropping
doesn't mean anything - other than being
really uncomfortable for moms. Not only
would you feel it in the bladder, but your
hips and pubic bone feel like they are
ripping apart.

low kicks isn't a cause for concern, my
baby had dropped but her kicks were still
high as her head was down low and in
place. Now i feel her punches low and her
kicks under my rib cage hopefully shel
stay in a couple more weeks.

Try to get as much bed rest as you can
during this time. What did the doctor say
about you being dilated to 1cm and the
early labor you were experiencing? Did
they give you something to stop the
contractions? What are your sonograms
showing? Try not to worry, you may be a
little farther along than you think. My
baby girl was premature - small, but
healthy. She is now 21 and still very
small - 4'11" and 100 lbs. lol
