Baby Dropped At 30 Weeks...normal??
Posted: 06-11-06 21:42pm

My little one has seemed to have dropped already. Everyone is noticing my belly being much lower. I feel so much more pressure on my bladder now as well. Is it normal to drop this early? As of my ultrasound 2 weeks ago, she is already in the head down position. Anyone experience this and still carry full term?

Thanks!

Perfectly normal especially in a first pg. My wee man drop at about the same time and I had to suffer the pressure on my bladder and general uncomfortablness for 7 more weeks. Hang in there your almost there :-)

I am 32 weeks today. I dropped sometime last week because wenesday of last week none of my pants would fit right....Felt really different and everyone told me that it (my bump) looked lower and that she was poking a lot farther out there. I go for an ultrasound on thursday and we shall see where she is at.....But I think she is still feet down the way that she kicks on my bladder.

Thanks for everyones input. I have a doctors appointment on tuesday so we will see what he says.

Sunflower- are you feeling the braxton hicks contractions as well? Sometimes they wake me up in the middle of the night they are so strong. Let me know what you find out at your ultrasound on thursday. When is your due date?

My due date is august 7th.

The braxton hicks aren't that bad, but when I do have them they tighten up and then in 30 - 40 mins it finally lets up. So I am uncomfortable most of the time when I have them. But they havn't really woken me up at night. They normally start if I have been doing a lot of walking and stuff like that. Now that she has dropped walking thru the parking lot at work is horrible. I hate leaving at night because I have been working all day and finally wore my self out that by the time I get to my car I am in tears and just can't stand it anymore.
