queeeestion...anybody else?
ok so this is my 4th baby but i put an 8 year gap in between this one and my 3rd so i can't remember EVERYTHING from my last pregnancy...is it normal for my belly to have already dropped down? in the last two weeks it seems to have fallen...i'm used to the drop happening closer to delivery time...later in the 30s so I'm trying to see if anyone else has noticed a change in their bellies yet...ppl now approach me and ask if i am having a boy because of how low i am sitting and some of the women in my family who have seen me throughout the pregnancy have also spoken up to say i have dropped already...im always in alot of pain down there and my hips seem to have spread tremendously in the last two weeks as well, so I'm just asking...anybody else noticed similar things during their pregnancy?

@jinxgirl hmm maybe that means she can still go up for me... *fingers crossed* lol
@MikiMouseMum i am 27 but feeling like I'm a little older by the body...im guessing it has got to be the gap in between...im going to ask at my next appointment to see if she is engaged or not...one weird thing is i never feel her move very high...i haven't the whole pregnancy...she has kinda stayed at the bottom...rarely ever feel her any higher than my belly button...wonder what that could be...makes me wonder if she will ever go up into my ribs lol...of course I'm not complaining if she doesn't lol...im ready for my next appointment...i have so many questions now lol...
@waiting4three maybe i should look into the support belt ? all my babies were small to me (I'm small myself lol) #1 was 7lbs 3oz...#2 was 5lbs 15.6oz and #3 was 6lbs 2oz...i feel huge rn...wondering how much more i can take...will be 29 weeks tomorrow so i guess i have 11 weeks left now too...hoping she comes early honestly...its becoming a heavy load for me and I'm lowkey really anxious about how much bigger and heavier I will get....especially if she keeps pushing down on me...i wonder if it could be so low due to my long torso...i forgot all about that...on the brightside at least I'm not alone in the feeling lol...im gonna shop around for the support belt...hopefully i can find one quickly lol
I am 36 and have a 10.5 year gap betwen our last. I wonder if our eldery muscles are more relaxed after prior pregnancies and don’t pull everything in as tight? I am also feeling more pressure and pelvic pain down there than I remember with my other two. Maybe hips are already wider so bub can settle in the pelvis a bit earlier? You could ask them to check if bub is engaged at your next appointment which is what usually causes the true “drop”. Otherwise bub is probably just enjoying the extra room since everything has already been stretched before ❤️
I’m also having my 4th and baby is very low. And keeps getting lower. I was basically told at this point after having three big babies things are pretty stretched out and that’s just how it is. I’m not really uncomfortable but two of my doctors suggested get a support belt. So I ordered a belly bandit one and it gets here Tuesday. Hopefully it helps holds this baby up for the next 11 weeks!
Update.... my support belt arrived and it’s amazing!!! I highly recommend getting one. It feels reeeeally good. Especially for my back which I didn’t realize was bothering me until I put the belt on and realized how good it felt! And it gives my belly a nice little boost. I got the belly bandit upsie belly. It was pricey but i think it’s worth it. The other ones I looked at, around $20, seemed more flimsy. This one gives lots of support. I wish I had it sooner. I hope you’re feeling well! Good luck!!!
