We were at the outdoor market this weekend and a random lady who I’ve seen working there many times in the past commented, “Oh! You must be due soon! You’re very low!!
I guess if random people are noticing that she’s dropping, she really must be dropping!! 😛
They say that lightening (when the baby drops) occurs for first-timers on average between 2 and 4 weeks prior to labour starting. Babies might not drop until labour has started with subsequent pregnancies.
The ladies at work noticed her starting to drop around the 4th of January (2 weeks ago, at the start of my 36th week).
The guys at work have started noticing her lower position today (in my 38th week).
So are we looking at 2-4 weeks from when she has finished dropping? Or 2-4 weeks from when she starts to drop?
Maybe it’s 4 weeks from when she started to drop, and 2 weeks from when she finished dropping … assuming that the dropping process takes 2 weeks.
In this case we’d be looking at the first week of February.
According to the calendar, my 40th week will be the first week of February, considered completed on Monday 8th.
