im 37 weeks and 3 days. the baby is head down but Thursday the doctor said he hasnt dropped yet. for months his feet have always and only been way more to the right. tonight hes moved quite a bit and now it feels like his legs are way more to the left... is this a sign hes getting in more of a better birthing positon and might drop soon? did any of your babys do something like that right before you noticed you dropped? Thanks.

My babys feet are also always way to the right, they have been for the last 6 weeks. I'm 31 weeks pregnant, keep me updated if this is a sign of your baby dropping:) Good luck!

Hi ladies. I am 33 weeks and my baby has dropped. Does any one know from the time the baby drops until labor???

Im 36 weeks. My doc said that my baby has dropped a little, and maybe wont drop anymore til labour. Kate, i dont think you will go into labour anytime soon just because your baby has dropped, and to be honest, i would think your docs would stop labour for you if it started now, its too early. And ladies, i dont know if there are any signs that your baby is going to drop, it can happen suddenly, or over time.

My baby was head down since 27 weeks, she always laid on her side facing my right hip with her butt up under my left ribcage and legs wrapped around under my right ribcage. She didn't "drop" until about 12 hours before labor started - and this was my first.

babies turn and move their feet around so much.. i doubt that what you've noticed is a sign of him dropping. you'll noticed the giant gap between your boobs and your baby when he does drop though! :) some things that help get him in the right position is walking and correct posture *especially when sitting.
