I am having a horrible time with baby squashed in ribs and a very squashed stomach!

When am i likely to drop? How will i know?

When did you drop?

It varies from person to person,everyones different but the midwife says between 37-38 weeks is when it usually happens x

Yip just as Laura has said, although my bump still hasnt dropped but baby is fully engaged so your bump doesnt have to drop for bubs to engage. Kx

I noticed a bit of a drop about a week ago but to be honest, it hasn't stopped the pressure on my ribs, my squashed tummy or my heartburn, sorry!

I though my bump had lowered and im only 32 weeks lol...maybe im going mad!

I felt like my bump dropped at 37 weeks. All of a sudden I could breathe much better and no more kicks in the ribs. Then baby grew a little more and he's back in my ribs, STILL not engaged (at 40+3)

Mine noticeably dropped about 2 weeks ago, but it's always been low.

Hello! I'm 30 weeks and I was carrying REALLY high until 3 days ago, when Biskit dropped. She's still not as low as many babies are toward the end, but she's definitely a lot lower than she was a week ago! I'm feeling her stamp all over my cervix these days, instead of up in my ribs.

Mine hasn't dropped at all. Apparently it doesn't happen to everyone... my ribs feel your pain!
