After your bump drops, do people tend to go into labour?
I know you cant really estimate when a baby is coming but what are the obvious signs you are ready for people who have already had their LO's?

My bump has dropped considering it was really high the whole way through my pregnancy, I have been going 'toilet' about 4 times a day, when usually it was like every 2 days!! I need a wee on average about every 30 mins, like uncontrollable urges where i litrally have to run, even when i havnt had a drink. My boobs are absolutley killing me and my pelvis feels like its splitting!!!!!

Any luck or are these just the joys of pregnancy?

Lets hope this is the start of something for you, if your bump has dropped and your stomach is clearing itself out, it certainly could be the beginnings. Goodluck hun, keep us informed of any progress xx

I've done toilets 4-5 times a day since almost 3 weeks... bump as dropped for almost a week + baby's engaged and I'm dilated to almost a 2... I've walked for 3 hours yesterday (shopping) and had sex... lots of it. And still NOTHING!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm having lots of contractions, cramps and pelvic pain, but the contractions are never regular nor last for more than an hour...

ive had no signs what so ever yet, my bump hasnt dropped and she is still just 4/5 engaged altho the past few days i have been going to the 'toilet' alot more often. i have no pressure or pain in my pelvis ang not even a twinge from my tummy. i dont think she has any plans on been early.

i hope this is the of something for you both tho, keep me updated if anything progresses for either of you!

humm, i hope its not too much longer for you, do you get like a membrane sweep or something in a few days if there is no sign? oh and also was it really noticable that your bump had dropped?

vicky

i will get a membrane sweep in a weeks time on the 7th april cos thats when my midwife wants to see me!!!!! I might try and get an appointment tomorrow to see her and be cheeky.

I thought i was carrying low anyway but other people noticed the difference in my bump.

i can completely relate to this post.
except for the sex part, i have done a lot of walking yesterday, i get cramps and pelvic pain and NOTHING!!!!!
The bump is soooo low and today it looks sort of weird (vey vertical like yours jess), but this baby is super stubborn it seems.

yeh worth a try! if not hope it goes well on the 7th and gets things going for you. everyone says im carrying quite high so hopefully i should notice if it drops.
