baby getting lower

Hey everyone im 33 weeks tomorrow and ive had multiple people commenting to me saying that my baby looks like he is dropping. It seems to be easier for me to breath but im not far enough along yet. My doctor hasnt said any concerns and that everything is going great but could my little boy being so low in my hips be a sign that i might have him a little earlier than my due date? I just wanna make it to at least 37 weeks so i have a health little bundle!

Thanks for the support girls pregnancy is hard but i have a friend that had her baby at 26 weeks! She is a little surviving miracle but i feel like its selfish to wish your baby out too early! I just see it like 50 more days till im 40 weeks and i can do it!! Making it to 37 weeks is great but whats another 3 weeks to know that your little bundle will be fully ready for a healthy start to life!

I dropped early during my first pregnancy and she was 9 days early. So maybe you will be early but maybe not. During my second pregnancy I dropped right before I had her 2 weeks early. Good for you in not being one of the few trying to opt out of pregnancy as early as possible. I was happy to have my babies early, but I did nothing to make this happen, they made the decision to come (no raspberry leaf tea, or any of that stuff)

Good for you. Honestly..I read about people who are thirty weeks.saying they're going to ask their doc for.an induction at 37weeks because they're fed up.and ill be honest it annoys me..as I know people who have gone into premature labour and have. Children with disabilities..I know its hard being pregnant and it seems like forever but yes the longer they're in there the better. I was induced at 40weeks..awful experience but it was for medical reasons. I'm hoping to go naturally this time..even I'd I have to go way overdue. You'll be fine just any severe cramps or.bleeding don't hesitate to.get checked. Good luck Hon :)
