Anyone else's babe drop yet? I'm about 33ish weeks, and I swear this morning as I was making breakfast I felt her head sink fast and my hip bones shifted out. Ouch. It usually happens for me about a month before their due, so this is just slightly early. Lucky not to have any spd problems or anything. But I am definitely walking funny, lol
And I think I've heard they can float back up, but dang, right now it kinda hurts.

When I was having more early labor symptoms about 3 weeks ago, I swear that my baby had dropped, too.  Everything felt so different and baby was SO LOW!  I had to pee every 5 seconds.  LOL  Luckily, he/she has floated back up now, and is actually carrying quite high again.  It is the weirdest thing.  It's definitely a tradeoff- now that baby is higher up again, I find that my breathing and eating are super uncomfortable, and I feel like I'm carrying a TON of weight all out in front.  But when baby was dropped, the peeing all the time and constant cervix twinges were super uncomfortable.  The last part of pregnancy is just uncomfortable all around!

My little one goes up and down all the time.  The first time s/he dropped I kinda got concerned because it doesn't usually happen for me until RIGHT before labor starts.  But for some reason this one drops and then goes back up high fairly often.  I kinda wish it would stay down because when s/he's up I feel my "upper" skin stretching and I don't want any more stretch marks, lol.
