is it obvious??? was just wonderin gif its really obvious when your bump drops as been told to wait til this happens before gettin fitted for a nursing bra.

What week did people drop and was it obvious???

Well my LO is now supposed to be engaded approx 2/3 but my rib cage doesn't feel much different and is measuring the same.

I had a scan one day and he wasn't engaded and saw a doctor the next day and he was. No sudden 'lightening' and didn't feel any different.

i had several 'false alarms' where i swore he must be engaded as i could eat more and felt different - but apparently not wasn't. So what do i know? lol

not sure i'm righ in assuming engaded is the same as dropped?

Found out yesterday that the baby's at -1 station, but I haven't really felt any kind of lightening or obvious bump difference.

I never dropped with Z. Hoping I will with this one because it made it very difficult to breathe having him so high up.

I dropped at around week 34 but I didn't actually realise it myself - it was only when the midwife told me and when other people commented on my bump being low that I realised! oops!

I've carried quite low anyway but seen to have dropped around 37/38 weeks or so.
