I know with the first baby, they can drop quite a while before you go into labor. however, I am not sure what to think about with subsequent pregnancies, as I have heard you they usually don't drop until you go into early labor.So just looking for some opinions I've got six weeks left, and I feel as though he has dropped. Also feeling more then usual achy in the hips and everything in between. I go in for my next appointment on wednesday, at which point I will be sure to talk to my doctor about this. In the meantime, any opinions?

oh thank god. i thought you literally meant "dropped".
i have two friends who delivered last week. one said that she felt the baby had "dropped" around 8 months. the other one didn't feel the baby was sitting lower until about two or three weeks before her due date.

My baby "dropped" two weeks ago, and I'm due the 30th of this month... i'm in a lot of pain now and don't remember this with my other two. I've tried to find answers to when I would deliver now... but i think it's just one of those unpredictable things!!! Good luck!!!
