Baby Dropping? Posted: 06-24-04 08:10am
Ok so remember my last appt? Well I was
measuring 3 weeks small all the sudden
after measuring normally this whole time..
Well they did the ultrasound and I was
still measuring 35 weeks, not smaller
afterall.. Well anyhow, ive been reading
and in my pregnancy books it says when the
baby drops, u may notice that u measure
smaller all the sudden because the baby
moved down lower into the pelvis and at
the ultrsound she was saying she couldn’t
see his face because he was so deep in the
pelvis. Do you think that this is maybe
what happened then???? I know normally it
doesn’t occur until around 2 weeks before
delivery most the time..But my mom said
that witth my brother (her first) that he
dropped 6 weeks b4! Anyhow so im
wondering if maybe that happened. I have
a docs appt today but I don’t see the
actual doctor because hes in surgery so I
have to wait a week from today to see him.
I am 36 weeks today by the way! J

Hey
i read somewheres that a baby can actually
drop up to 8 weeks before ur delivery
date. Have u been breathing easier and
felt less pain in ur ribs? Thats usually
a sign of the baby dropping. Also, people
suddenly get stretchmarks when they baby
drops. I think mine might have (not sure)
but im gona ask my doc at my next appt so
if u ask ur doc, she should be able to
tell u if he did or not
