Baby dropped?

I never felt that "baby dropped" sensation with any of mine, but starting around 32 my first and this one were pretty firmly placed, head down, in my pelvis. My second didn't get himself head down until about 36 weeks.

I am due July 12, and my midwife today told me that the baby's head was pretty far down. Much more so than at our appt. just last week.

This kid has been on my bladder for the past 3 or 4 months though, so that is certainly nothing new for me!

This is my 3rd and I've never had any of mine "drop" until labor/delivery. The girls were always so high and I had terrible heartburn. With this one I feel a lot of pressure around my bladder and some pains near my cervix. I haven't had heartburn in the last 3 days so maybe that means something. As of my appt last Thursday he was still pretty high.

Well, MW confirmed today by measurement that baby is waaay down there! I am 37 weeks and I measured 34. And she felt him and thinks he may be bigger than DD was at birth (she was 7lb14oz). So with that in mind, I wouldn't be measuring small all of a sudden. And people keep stopping me to inform me that I am having a boy. I guess there's some old wives tale about boys ridin' low...

And you guys really helped me by mentioning the heartburn! I hadn't even noticed, but it has completely disappeared. With DD it didn't disappear until she was delivered. So weird!
