It varies, Dolly. some drop early, some never drop, some drop right before labor/delivery. 33 weeks is quite early for the baby to drop as the average of baby dropping is around 36-37 weeks and beyond.
 
I'm having some cramping, achiness down low and in my lower back. Feels almost like period is on its way. Probably doesn't really mean anything and that it only means my body is just getting ready for the baby. I have my dr appt tomorrow, would be interesting to see what the cervix check will tell. Last week I was 2 cm dilated, 70% effaced. I'm not holding breath that I will see more progress with the cervix tomorrow though. Probably the same.

I just got news that I am negative for GBS so no antibotics needed for labor :happydance:
 
I'm hoping they'll check me today since Marin dropped, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm 36 weeks, but my doctor is very hands-off, if you know what I mean. He doesn't do a whole lot of unnecessary tests or anything. I'm not even sure he'll check me unless I'm in labor. Oh well. It would just be something else for me to obsess over. With my luck, I'd be the one who stays at 3 cms for weeks and goes overdue, haha.

Does anyone else get dead legs? I'm used to RLS, but instead of being tingly and twitchy, mine feel hollow.
 
girlnboots: you never know, he might want to check just to see where youve progressed.. they usually do a cervix check when they do a gbs swab anyway, hit 2 birds with a stone. you can always ask because he might be willing to check, just for you.
 
Sorry to say Dolly I've not dropped yet. As ptr says though it may not happen. I feel Dylan very low down and right under my ribs so I wonder if he's too big to ever get out of my ribs.
 
I don't think I've dropped yet. When I went for my ctg on Sunday the midwife said that she thinks the baby is fully engaged as she can't feel the head is palpable and can't move it from side to side. I don't "feel" as though the baby is engaged though, so I don't know. I'm wondering if perhaps baby is hiding her head away to one side and that's why she didn't feel she could move the head, but she is a midwife and experienced so I should think she knows what she's talking about :shrug:

I wasnt engaged, and didnt drop with DD either and she engaged and dropped in labour.
 
what is the facebook group called anyone? With us all coming towards the end and most people won't use BnB as often after baby is born, i want to add the group to keep up with everyone.
 
my bub dropped at 35 weeks...so at 35 its possible!!

ptr- ive had some period cramps and from what i can find out is these pains come from the cervix...so maybe u have something further happening there!! :)
 
No cervical check, and it doesn't sound like I'll get one unless I think I'm in labor. He did say to come in whenever and he'll check me out.

He said he'll induce me at 39 weeks if I just can't take it anymore, but he'd rather not due to complications and interventions, etc, but he wanted me to know it was an option. I will definitely not be induced before 40 weeks, and I'd rather not be induced at all. Just playing the waiting game now!

I'm gbs- as well! Yay! I was a little worried about that interfering with my labor-at-home plan.
 
My dr said he will give me induction at 39 weeks as an option but I don't know if I want it just yet. I was induced at 39w4d with my DD and it went picture perfect and I'm thinking I might take 39w5d (October 1st) because it will be easier for all of us since I need an interpreter, my hospital is 45 mins away and I have a DD that I would need someone to watch. We will see how I feel when I am closer to October 1st whether I want to take the induction or waiting a little longer or I might even want to wait till I go naturally.
 
Paiyton, you'll need to add maze to fb then she will be able to add you to the group as its a secret group so you can't search for it.
 
Sounds like there are a lot of practice pains going on for everyone...

I am exhausted. DH is totally immobile with a hurt back so I am having to do everything in the house, with the kids, housework, lifting heavy stuff and bla bla bla plus helping him out of chairs and I am tired and feeling sick.

If I go into labour before he gets better we are done for as he wont be able to look after the kids and we have no one else.

Well I woke up at 02:30 last night with a bad tummy (like when you have a tummy bug), I felt really hot but chilly too and a bit sick. Ended up having a bout of diarrhea, then some contractions and went back to sleep. :wacko:
Woke up again at 06:30 with period type back pain, had some more contractions and again felt quite off.

Called the hospital as contractions were roughly every 4-5 minutes and had been more or less consistent since 14:30 the day before.

I was told to take some paracetamol and call back in an hour.

Called back and was told it sounded like I'm in latent (early) labour and so long as I was happy coping at home, had no bleeding, leaking waters, pain in my scar (I'm having a VBAC) or feeling unwell then I was okay to labour at home until any of the above happened or I felt I needed more pain relief.

Well the contractions have got a bit stronger but are now totally irregular! :cry: I've gone from 10 - 12 an hour to 1 / 2 an hour if I'm lucky! It's like it stops and starts!! :cry: All I want is for it to progress! :cry:
 
Hope it starts back up for you rather than it being a total practice run. This exact thing happened to me a few times in my last pregnancy before the real event..it was very confusing.
 
Actually, I THINK any member can add a new person. I was being curious today since i figured maze was probably preoccupied. My name is Stephanie Price if you want to add me and try it. If you can even find me, haha. My picture is an ultrasound.
 
girlnboots there are over 1000 Stephanie prices lol. What is your current city or something else to search for you with?

goddess I hope your DH gets better real soon :) Try and take it as easy as you can if that's at all possible.

Low I hope your contractions become regular again. Hang in there.

if I can't find girlnboots what's Maze's real name so we can find her on facebook?
 
I'm in Mexico, Missouri. I'll send you a message with Maze's name.
 
Yes... of course You can add any member to a secret group but depending on the settings, it may require admin's approval and maze is the admin. That's why I said its probably easier for people to add maze to get added to the group but she's probably preoccupied with the new babe. Hopefully she gets on soon!
 
I hope labor speeds up for you Low!!

Goddess, I can't I,whine being exhausted and pregnant with two LO's at home. Kuddos to you!!

I don't think my LO has dropped yet. I'm really uncomfortable because she's all up in my ribs. A foot here or a bum there. I've been having lots of BH's though. I'm pretty comfortable at night still so that's great. I've been working too much, which is causing all the BH and makin me so tired by the end of the day.

I may have asked this already, but has anyone's feet grown?? Also, to the that are already moms, if your feet grew during pregnancy, did they go back after or stay bigger??

My feet went up a whole size with my first pregnancy and never shrunk back! It was seriously the saddest thing ever...I have a bit of a shoe collection. I literally have shoes that I had in high school..now most, if not all of them don't fit :( I still haven't gotten rid of them, but I probably should. Thankfully my feet haven't grown this time around. I can't afford to have my feet grown any more!
