My baby dropped about 3 weeks ago and i knew!!! My pelvis started aching so much when i was walking around, as my bones at the front of my pelvis have not separated. Your baby decends in stages...and it is measured in 5th...so your baby maybe have started to drop or may be fully engaged, but your doc will have to tell you for sure! Can you breth easier?
Hope this helps! ↑ |

Sounds like you have dropped!
Bad news though is that the baby can stay that way for several weeks!!!!!!!!! So fingers crossed our babies will be here sooner rather then later!
I am at the same stage as you, just want to meet my baby lol...Its hard being patient! ↑ |

| Yes it is my main goal for the next 5 weeks (if i go the full 40 weeks) is to keep my mind busy with wedding details since im getting married this summer b4 my soon to be husband gets deployed to afganhistan... tryin to get most things planned b4 the baby gets here cuz after im nto so sure ill care as much since ill be busy with him. But we'll see i guess! Im jsut gonna stay as busy as possible n probably sleep as much as I can b4 i'll barely get any sleep n hopefully the time will fly! ↑ |

here you go!!!
What a dropping baby feels like
While your baby continues to grow and crowd your internal organs, you may find that you're not as hungry as you were a few weeks ago. Smaller, more frequent meals are often easier to handle at this point. If your baby starts to drop down lower in your pelvis, you may have less heartburn and have an easier time breathing. This dropping — called lightening or engagement — is more likely to happen before labor if this is your first baby. Lightening can increase pressure in your lower abdomen and make walking uncomfortable. Some women say it feels as if they're carrying a bowling ball between their legs or like their baby is going to fall out. (Don't worry, she won't!) ↑ |

| I posted earlier about my bump feeling different and I am begining to wonder if she has dropped a little after reading this - I am 33 weeks but just read somewhere that it can happen from 30 weeks onwards. I have a lot of pressure in my plevis region and even though she is still rib tickling it does not seem as intense. what do you all think ↑ |

Well all I know is every night when I go to bed it feels like I'm starving even if I've just eaten. I just keep thinkin' it has to be the baby leanin' on somethin' that feels just like bein' hungry. Lol.
It's very odd.
About the baby dropping thing.
I don't know how this is related but it did feel like it was dropping of sorts.
I stood up there about two days ago and it just felt like he / she suddenly went really low. But straight after that it felt as though baby was spilling out over my hips!
It was so odd! ↑ |

| It was very obvious for me! One day my belly was one way and the next day it hurt to sit down because the baby was so low and my belly had changed forms lol ↑ |

| My first pregnancy my son never droppped, I went into labor and he moved further into my ribs. But I have been told by others that you will just know. You with feel a lot more comfortable and you will be able to breathe a lot better ↑ |

| Your belly will actually drop as well. When the baby drops you will also feel a whole lot more pressure below. With my daughter I had extremely painful sharp pains in my pubic area. It was aweful and do not wish this on anyone. ↑ |
