Baby Dropped Posted: 03-28-05 13:16pm
After your baby drops, how long is it
until you go into labor? I went to the
hospital last night because there was a
lot of pressure on my lower abdomen, so
they did a stress test and everything was
fine. They said my pain was caused by the
baby dropping and now he/she is putting
weight on my ligaments.

Depends on how far along you are. I went
into labour about three weeks after I
dropped. Keep count of how often you feel
the baby and if you leak any fluid call
your dr right away. My fluid was a slow
leak not a big gush. Good luck and sleep
now!

yea tiffany, how far along
are you? Just curious cause i'm 32 weeks
and sometimes feel extreme pressure real
low. Did you feel it happening? I'm
guessing no? But to answer you...I heard
it can take a couple weeks before you go
into labor once your baby drops. But
usually with your first baby, its within
24 hrs....At least according to things
i've read!
i am 34 weeks. I did feel a lot of pain
in my who-who. The night before I had
braxton hicks contraction for 8 hours,
every 20-30 minutes. I was going to go to
the hospital then because I was not sure
if they were real contractions. Now today
I have been having cramps that feel like
menstal cramps. I hope my baby stays in
until at least 37 weeks.

so....They said they are
sure the baby has dropped? Seems early
at 34 weeks but just means you may have
pre-term labor. Don't let it worry you
hun, of course youwant to carry to 37 but
with today's technology...If the baby were
to be born soon, chances of survival are
great. 34 weeks is not bad. My sis in
law works with babies that are born 28-32
weeks and most are healthy. Everything
will be ok...I can imagine your
uncomfortable with the pressure though.
I would guess labor is coming soon for you
since youdropped. Good luck with
everything...Please keep me posted!!!!
I'm 32 weeks and curious about
labor.....Feel free to pm me!
;o)
yeah they are sure, because that was what
was putting pressure on my ligaments. I
thought it was early too, but the hospital
didnt say anything. I am getting excited
that we will soon be a family, but since
going to the hospital, I am scared. Its
almost become sureal that it is almost
here. Are you nervous?

nervous???? Oh yes
indeed!!!! Very. It's my first! And
i'm being induced which they say can be
even more painful..But everyone is
different. I think it may happen for you
soon. Do you know if your dialated at
all? Be sure to mention the dropping at
your next regular dr appt, that is
important because they will most likely
check you for
dialation.
why are you getting induced? Thats
exciting, your baby will be here soon :) I
heard being induced is more painful too.
Good luck with everything. Im not sure if
im dialated at all. I will ask next week
when I see my ob. Im worried that she
will put in the hospital for toxemia and
high blood pressure. Oh well, as long as
my angel is fine.

Even if the baby is born before 37
weeks....It has a good chance of survival
if the lungs are developed
enough.....Which by week 34 I think it is.
I've seen plenty of little ones born like
that and they all turn out fine unless
something major is up with them...And even
then a lot of them still pull through.
Just keep breathing and remember stress
hormones are bad for the baby. The more
relaxed you are the better it'll be and
the more you can enjoy it! Make sure you
keep us all up to date and good luck!!

:d
being induced is painful if they break
your bag of water at the beginning.
Being induced can also cause your uterus
to over contract which happened with my
first. However for my second baby it was
a breeze I just told the doctor that I
didn't want my water broke before hand
