Baby Dropping: What It Means & When to Expect

Question
I was wondering when the baby drops and what does that mean, or how many weeks until the baby comes?

Answer
Usually, at around 36 weeks gestation, the baby drops. This means that it becomes lower in your pelvis and you feel less discomfort when breathing or climbing stairs or walking for long stretches because the baby is not pressing against your diaphram. The fact that the bby "dropped" does not indicate that you will deliver earlier or later.
