When Did Your Baby Drop During Your First Pregnancy?

I am already nearing 38 weeks but baby still seems very high up on my belly and hasn't dropped. Is this normal as I read that for first time mums baby will drop earlier. When did your baby drop during your first pregnancy?

For me i could feel the baby lower in my pelvis in around 36 weeks... later was confirmed by the gynae aswell... i delivered in 38 weeks.. in case your gynae says that baby is still high then you can try using birthing ball and walk a lot... it worked for me...

People around me also say my tummy is very high and baby hasn't drop when I was in my 39 weeks. I gave birth on week 39 so I don't think it is compulsory for belly to look lower?

My baby was engaged quite early on around week 35-36 and it was picked up from ultrasound. There was no noticeable difference for me from the exterior and I delivered on 39+6.

please trust your body and the baby to be ready,no need to think so hard ,just enjoy your pregnancy, anything u feel will affect baby emotions too

My belly didn’t look like it dropped. My gynae even thought that I might not give birth soon but at 38weeks I was admitted on the day of my check-up!
