re: Baby dropping, How much time passed for you?

Quoting Tristan Carman:" Ok so ultrasound tech confirmed in week 27 that he was pretty much engaged; however, it wasn't noticeable ... [snip!] ... I know all babies are different but can anyone tell me how much time passed between baby fully engaging and labor for them???? "

I'm due Nov 2nd and I my baby still hasn't dropped  

Quoting *Expecting #3*:" I hope you guys know you are making me very excited to have this baby!!!!!! and im only 14 weeks damn it!!!! LOL  "

I was in this situation at 9 weeks pregnant after getting my first ultrasound LOL And now I"m 32+2. It only gets worse, the anticipation does lol  

Quoting Laurnabeth:" my son didnt drop till labor."

How close to your due date did you have him? I have 4 more weeks to go and I wish he would drop already lol. I'm so anxious!

I keep having dreams about having him and I wake up so sad cus I just want him already lol.

I'm right there with you. That's why when I woke up to find my stomach hanging about six inches lower than it did I got so excited. I know they say wait till week 37 but to be honest my doctor is wrong about my due date anyway. According to when I know I was active and know when the condom broke he's due the first week of November lol. But I use her due date regardless.

Yeah, they are probably basing it on his development, I was told that my son was measuring a week ahead. So he's just growing a little faster.

They based it off his size and my fundal height which is odd to me. I would be more likely to believe them if they did it based off of development but size I won't. Babies are small in my family lol. He always measure a week or two small.

Problem is that babies don't always grow at the exact rate they're projected too. Like you may be 20 weeks pregnant but have a baby that's measuring exactly right for 19 weeks because s/he grew a little slower than most at some point. Like with my first the due date they gave me by u/s was 2 weeks later than the one they gave me by my lmp, and by their u/s due date, if my son had grown exactly as per the average, that would mean that I got my bfp before I even conceived (obviously not possible) and yet his little body was exactly on track for their projected due date at every last u/s (all 12 of them). He just grew a little slower than the average, so even if you know exactly when you ovulate or even exactly when you conceived, that doesn't necessarily mean that their projected date is off, it may just mean that your baby grew a little slower at some point.

I understand your views. But watching his reactions that coincide with development to different things and how my body was responding and everything his development seems to be on track for where I think he is. He's just small. Of course I haven't looked at his organ's and everything so I can't be 100% sure. I just monitor when things happened, when he started reacting to certain things and compare to when they should be happening. The way I see it as long as he comes in November and not this month, he'll be ok either way

i dropped between 35/36 weeks and am now 41 weeks .
