The sensations, aches and pains i have been feeling have changed over the last two or three days and iv had loads of BH contractions. Im sure baby has dropped, is 29 weeks three days a bit early?

Compared to some people it is early, but remember everyone is different. I am currently 33 weeks and dropped at 30. My aches, pains, and pelvic pressure all changed. I did have a visual difference of how high/low my stomach appeared. The ultrasound I had last week also confirmed that the baby is in position as well. Just because you drop early doesn't mean you will deliver early. Just be sure to let your doctor know about the changes you are experiencing and the timing of them. I wouldn't worry.

when does the baby turn to prepare for birthing

it is definately too early for the baby not to need intensive care if you had her right now
