Baby dropped at 34 weeks

My first born dropped and I was 3 cm dilated in the end of September, almost came at 35 weeks but I was terrified of the nicu and had them stop the contractions and I made it to 39 weeks. I was at the hospital for a stress test.

My second came at 37 weeks & 6 days. She had dropped weeks prior to that, and I was 3 cm dilated a couple days before she came. I’m currently 32 weeks and 6 days, he has dropped but my cervix is still in tact (I’m always asking). But my due date is October 27, they are estimating 37-38 weeks he will come based off my last pregnancy. However my first born came 3 days before the due date. Because of the extreme pressure I feel with him down there, I am concerned about him trying to come early but I’m being told not to worry and everything is fine. 🥴 I advise to continue being observant and listen to your body. As long as I can get to the 37 mark, I’m good. At that point I made it to full term. I don’t want the NICU.

Don’t stress about any of that. Those growth scans are notoriously inaccurate for multiple reasons. My midwife even told me so. Also, the “dropping” doesn’t mean anything certain or exact either. Currently pregnant with my 3rd and nothing has ever gone on anyone’s estimated timeline. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes , both my first baby and this baby has been head down and dropped since 20+ weeks. I didn’t deliver my first until 39 weeks 5 days naturally and I had and have severe pelvic pain. Just get comfy

Doesn't mean anything. The dilatation either. Your baby can be dropped and you can have a 3 cm dilatation for weeks before entering active labor. Unless you have regular contractions for an hour or water breaker you are not in labor.
