Anyone else?

I will be 40 weeks on Friday and I feel like my baby is still sitting high in my belly. I feel like he hasn't "dropped" whatsoever! Anyone else feel this way? Btw, my belly has been small my whole pregnancy so it's kind of hard to tell.

I also felt the same way even when my doctor said the baby was moving downwards. Maybe it's just the baby stretching out as it moves down so you are making progress but it's just not showing on the outside.

I'm also 40 weeks on Friday.  I read somewhere (I think) that FTM'S usually don't "drop" until right before labor.

I feel exactly the same. My Dr says she's not fully dropped. So keeping fingers crossed that she'll drop during labor.
