Hi Ladies,
I feel like my belly is starting to drop. I'm 32 weeks along today, and I cannot remember when it happened with #1. Does anyone know if it happens earlier with #2? I'm just curious.

Thanks!
T.

I was 6 days overdue with my first child but I had a C-section with her so I had a repeat C-section with my second child. But I believe that my belly dropped a little earlier with my second child. Also trust me when I say that each pregnancy is different because I am in my third pregnancy now and it is completely different from my other two. Good luck with everything!

I think my second didn't drop really until I was in labor. I swear, I said "oh, the baby just dropped, I'm ready to push!" and I was. But also, with your second, you might know more because you'll have to pee every three seconds when the baby really starts descending. Good luck with number two!

I dropped somewhere around 32 weeks with my 2nd as well. I remember so clearly waking up and taking a deep breath and thinking "oh my goodness, I can breathe again!!" I asked my husband if I looked different (because I certainly felt different) and sure enough, I had dropped.

I, of course, then googled what that meant and read that when you "drop" that means you could go into labor in about 2 weeks. I was freaking out. I went on to deliver 2 days before my due date.

Enjoy our last few weeks with your first!! Congratulations!!
