Hey addie, my bump dropped too from around 29wks. It was so low that I couldn't walk for more than 5mins without holding it up or wearing my bump belt. My boys remained breech until 34wks when the larger boy went head down, so it had nothing to do with their position. Don't worry Hun because I remained pregnant for another 8wks after it dropped and by 38wks showed no signs of going into labour. I put it down to knackered muscles giving up the fight to hold them up lol x
Zephyr - like you I laughed in the face of my consultant when at 34 wks she booked my section date for 38+. There was no way I was gonna make it that far with my crappy cervix and stitch - how wrong was I!! No one was more surprised than me when the day came and the boys hadn't put in an appearance.
I was told that my uterus was so over-distended that it was unlikely I would have gone into labour spontaneously, so for me the boys excessive size was a blessing in disguise. I was so relieved to make it to term, especially after my previous 24wker that 38 wks felt like a flipping' miracle! It's proof positive tho that it can be done, and I am sure you'll be equally stunned when 38wks comes around for you honey. If labour were about baby size alone, then I'd have delivered at 32wks when the boys had reached 10Ibs
