I'm 35 weeks now. The baby dropped about two weeks ago.. it was fairly noticeable. With that happening so early could it mean that baby will come early? I guess it varies from woman to woman.. but what is your experience with this?

My babies have come early (36 and 38 wks) and both dropped early. But, like the others have said, it's different for each woman and pregnancy. I'm going to have my 3 rd soon (almost 37 wks) and she dropped at 32 wks. Either way, good luck!

Hiya, I'm 34 weeks, and have noticed my bump has dropped a lot now too. No more sore ribs, yay!! But am now waddling like a penguin, haha. :)

No this just means he is settling down the right way to be born. He will no longer be able to move around so much and you may feel quickenings across your tummy which is a dummy run for the birth. This does not mean you will go into labour early. Both my sons dropped at 35 weeks and were still 10 days late. Relax you have time yet!
