can baby drop early with the more pregnancies you've had?

[domesticdiva]

Something just doesn't feel normal anymore with my body. He feels sooooo LOW I am so uncomfortable, I feel like I need to #2 all the time lol sorry tmi. But I don't really need to, it's just that feeling like he is pushing in my behined and going to fall out my lady parts lol When I am standing up I need to go pee like every 3 minutes, even if nothing is there, I feel like I have to so bad because of the pressure (it's like a full bladder feeling, not a buring bladder infection sensation or anything, had plenty of those in the past). I can barely do a kegal, like if I squeeze I cannot hold it at all. I am only 33 wks, but it is my 5th pregnancy (4th child) so is it possible he could have dropped this early? Or just my body now after so many pregnancies and lack of rest this go around with other kids at home? Or maybe that they are all so close together? My oldest is 5 1/2, youngest turns 2 on Thursday.

Has anyone had confirmation from their dr. before that they have dropped early on??

It's making daily tasks hard, and I am terrified I will go into labor before my section date.

I am almost 32 weeks with my fourth. I too have dropped recently. I take plenty of potty breaks and nothing. My chiropractor said it's normal for a baby to press on different parts causing you to feel the urge to poo!

I thought i had dropped on friday. I had it confirmed by scan and MW on saturday at just 28 weeks

 

[domesticdiva]

oh joy lol

The symptoms have only gotten worse and I am getting braxton hicks like mad, now I am sooo worried I'm going to go into labor before my section date.

I wonder why this is? Just because your body knows what to do maybe?

I feel the same and my MW confirmed it.
Baby's head is low and engaged already at 33weeks.
The body, uterus and cervix are not as tonic as for a first or second pregnancy.

This is my 7th pregnancy and each dropped earlier than the last. My last pregnancy I was 4cm dilated for my last 3 months with many braxton hicks to the point of being monitored weekly for the last 2 months. Honestly the braxton hicks were more painful that true labour. This baby dropped at 31 weeks thankfully.

This is my third pregnancy. I dropped a couple of weeks ago and now baby has gone back again. I'm just ceph and baby is right at the tip of my uterus so I think when I did drop it wasn't much. I felt like I was walking around with the baby in between my legs lol

I've dropped in the past few days -- big difference in the shape of my bump, feeling those lovely head-butts into my cervix but on the plus side my ribs appreciate it!

I think it can change from pregnancy to pregnancy. First didn't engage til labour started, second was at about 36 weeks (he was born at term), third when labour started too.

I'm pregnant with my third and dropped about a week ago, at 33 weeks. I'm glad to be rid of the heartburn but hate feeling like I'm going to wee and poo myself constantly. lol

I'm pretty sure I dropped this past week. He feels so low its painful to walk, I have to pee all the time, and and now most of his movements are at belly button level and lower.
