Is it too early for baby to drop?

Question

I'm 27 weeks pregnant - and I feel like my baby dropped today.. is it possible for this to happen this early?

I feel a lot of pressure today and my stomach is so much lower that I've been waddling... my back is really sore in the lower area... and yah - just a lot of pressure in my lower stomach --- and the baby's movements are really really low down. like around or below my hair line...

I'm nervous... just wondering if it's possible that this happens so early? And also - if he has dropped... it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad right?

Answer 1

i have the same thing. i call them my fat days which today is one of those. other days i have skinny days where there is no pressure at all. i'm 24 weeks and my mum was telling me just yesterday that it really depends on where the baby is. it could be laying sideways or more to the front. don't forget, your babys moving alot.

Answer 2

the baby shouldnt have dropped already, you should call your doctor.

the baby could just be in a different position and you feel the kicks lower, that has happened to me before. but it didnt last for very long, just a few hours.

Answer 3

yes it can happen that early....some people say that means baby is coming soon, others say it just means baby is getting ready...in other words, I wouldn't worry about it too much right now!! if you have any concerns or start having any labor symptoms, call the hospital or your doctor. I'm at 36 weeks now and my little guy is just starting to drop, but my little girl dropped at around 32 weeks and she was 11 days late!!! try not to worry and good luck!!!

Answer 4

My bub was going up and down a bit around that time too as far as I know there's nothing to worry about. Double check that with your dr though definately better to be safe then sorry. I found I'd have days where bub sat really low down and then others where she's real high up. (I've carried fairly low for the whole pregnancy though)
