Hi ladies! So, I'm 34w1d and I'm just curious as this is my first pregnancy. How do you know when your baby drops? I have noticed that I have pressure down "there'' a lot more lately and as of two weeks ago, my little guy was/is head down.

its called lightening its just the baby gradually moving down you will feel more pressure near your pelvic area because the baby is preparing for birth though still months away.

Thanks, lol. Today I feel like he's all up in my bladder. That's why I was wondering. Lol.

you'll be able to breathe lol :), you will actually have room for your meals without feeling like they're going to come straight back up and if you have indigestion that may go away as well, so you will have more room up top, but you will have increased pressure down the bottom and will start getting pains in and around your vagina from babies head pressing on your pelvic floor muscles, you may even find yourself wee-ing abit and it can also feel like your sitting on your babies head :)
