37 weeks pregnant

Hi. Im 37 weeks pregnant and i am just wondering how can you tell if your belly has 'dropped' as they say. All my family/friends have said its dropped but I can't see it myself.

Also how do you know when baby is moving down?!
I can sometimes feel pulling and pressure so I assume thats it right?

I've always been able to tell by the distance between my chest and belly. I couldn't put my hand between belly and breasts then once belly dropped in Could..  Good luck :)

Your belly will be slanted and it will also be lower than it was originally...  I was able to tell that I dropped.
