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?

Someone else just posted about dropping at 30 weeks. It is completely normal and doesn't mean you will go into labor. At least you can breath easier now! ;)

Jgtc-06- hi there! I am due august 21 and I have "dropped" as well. My belly used to be up high and now it is so much lower. People even comment on it! I went to the doctors a few days ago and he said that it is normal. Just keep an eye on any contractions. My baby girl is already head down and ready to come out!
