Baby has dropped @ 23 weeks

I just turned 23 weeks pregnant yesterday and sat up all night experiencing contractions and lower back pain but I stayed home and toughed it out. I felt my baby move down and I thought I was just thinking crazy but now when she kicks she is down very low in my pelvis. All the pains are gone but I keep feeling like I might leak fluid (same feeling I'd get when I started my period). I can't get ahold of my family doctor or ob until Monday so now I'm just wondering if this is all normal..? Ftm.

Did you finally get hold of your family dr/ob? I'd like to know what they said.

My family doctor said that since I wasn't bleeding and it went away in a few hours that it was probably just a bad case of braxton hicks. I'm 27 1/2 weeks now and baby is healthy ♡
