3rd tri girls-anyone's belly start dropping in week 31?

Mine has noticably dropped since last week, I'm now 32 1/2 weeks. I feel alot of sharp pains and pressure at times, not too severe but very uncomfortable and it makes me stop in my tracks.

I'm not sure if I've "dropped" but I have a bit more pelvic pressure. Nothing to complain about though. And my pubic bone still hurts a bit

I also get a period like cramp every morning at like 5am..weird...around the same time the past 4 mornings ... (like an AF cramp, down low only) and it lasts for about a minute then goes away. I wonder what that can be?

It's so strange. That little shelf below my bra line is now flatter and even a little mushy. I wonder if I should be happy or worried

Re: 3rd tri girls-anyone's belly start dropping in week 31?

almost 32 weeks here, and i definitely haven't "dropped' - i feel like my baby is in my ribs

but i also get AF cramps every morning... strange.

I am 36 weeks today and I have not dropped as yet.

I didnt know that the baby dropped until I went to the doctor and he told me that the babies head was right there...my belly doesnt look any lower nor do I feel any different...His tush is still in my ribs and he can still tuck his feet inbetween my rib cage!!!

I too have the sharp pains and pressure at times..the kind where if you are walking you have to stop and take a breath. I asked the doctor about this and he said it has to do with the position of the baby. From what I gathered from his explanation the uterus stretches very nicely from up to down but when the baby pushes side to side it cause these type of lower pelvic pains. Im fine walking around as long as he is asleep BUT when he is awake FORGET IT!!!! I have to stop every couple of minutes and wait for the little bugger to move.

I'm 33 weeks and still carrying high.

Re: 3rd tri girls-anyone's belly start dropping in week 31?

Maybe it is positioning? I just feel everything so low. When I told the doc, he assured me this could start as early as 30 weeks and said we would see at the growth sono next week.

Thanks for your responses everyone!

Yes, I noticed it two days ago! My boobs were no longer just an extension of my belly! I am also a lot more like an egg shaped!

I also have a lot of pain in my cervix which is caused by my little darling who loves to tap dance on it!!!!!

Re: 3rd tri girls-anyone's belly start dropping in week 31?
