Why havent I "dropped".

Im 37 weeks today and I still haven't "dropped" yet. Is it always physically noticeable? I always feel her move deep in my pelvis area but nothing other than that....when did you ladies "drop"?

Not every woman will have a noticeable drop. My friend who had her baby a month ago didn't look dropped at all but her babies head was in her pelvis. You couldn't tell she had dropped. I'm 37+5 and I only looked like I've dropped just slightly. Its hardly noticeable. But the funny thing is is that my LO has been in my pelvis since I was 34 weeks so she's dropped way before lol. I've felt her in my pelvis since then but I never looked it. It really depends on the woman. Don't worry if you don't ever notice the dropping look as its truely not as common as you think. Every pregnancy and pregnant woman is different.

I just had ny daughter 8 days ago and I never thought I dropped. I nor other people could tell if I did but baby girls head was deep in my pelvis. So it is possible that you have dropped and you just don't know it.

Some women don't drop until a few hrs before labor so you never know.
