I think my baby has already dropped

So, like my post said I think my baby has dropped.  Since yesterday I have felt so uncomfortable anytime I sit and I feel constant pressure on my bladder and that region.  I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow.  

My question is, how far along were you when your baby dropped and then when did you do into labor?  

Not that I'm worried too much about early labor, just a question to see what other women have gone through.

I will ask my OB next week at my appt.  This is my 4th and for the life of me I can't remember when my others dropped.

Petite I have read the same things about the 2-4 week before going into labor.  But like you I think it depends on the woman.  I have never gone early...maybe this one will be :)

Two weeks ago for me at 31 weeks. I can breath easier, but have to pee about every 30 minutes. With my last she dropped right at the end around 35 weeks and I went into labor days later.

My baby dropped by 33 weeks and I was on bed rest for contractions. I went off at 37 weeks and went into labor exactly a week later. Keep in mind that she dropped an would move back up. This happened a few times.

My baby has dropped.. and Im 32 weeks 2 days (32 weeks 4 days by my OB). Its head is dead against my cervix.really creepy looking. I dont know when I will go into labor yet but have been identified at being at risk for PTL (not because the baby has dropped of course)....

The US technician did say it was odd to have the baby be so low at this stage in the game so boo to that.

I read online that it says the baby will usually drop anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks before labor... Of course with that said, i guarantee there are people on these boards that probably dropped really early and ended up being overdue.. So I am interested to see where this post goes... =)
