Baby dropped?

How do you know if your baby dropped? Do you physically feel it or how can you tell? Everything I read is a little confusing. Someone mentioned I look like my baby dropped but I can't tell...

Thank you ladies for all your responses! It's a relief hearing things from mom's instead of always reading stuff online or in books. :)

It kinda looks like he dtopped. My tummy does look a little lower but I could also be just bigger from the last picture at 35 weeks. Ugh I guess I'll have to ask my dr lol I've been having pelvic pain for a couple weeks now, and I have had to pee more often... I guess I thought it'd be more 0bvious lol

People say it's easiest to tell on yourself by comparing pictures or putting your arm under your breast once the baby drops there starts to be a lot more space in between the two, I felt my baby drop I started getting regular pelvic pain, doing things like rolling over in bed because painful if I didn't do it all in one motion, I started making hourly trips to the bathroom and my upper torso is kind of small so now when I sit my belly is between my legs instead of being propped up on them

If you look at your belly button, it will be more of an oval shape when the baby has dropped instead of round.

More pressure in the pelvic bone aswell.

Some babies dont drop until they are ready to be born.

I realized my baby dropped when I began to have pelvic pain a few weeks ago and also when my doctor said he could feel my baby's head during my cervical check.

I felt like my daughter dropped then compare bump pictures with a couple weeks back and definitely had. I felt more pressure on my pelvis and need to wee more. And could breathe better but everyone's different xx
