Lightening: Adjusting the pressure One of the first signs of labor may be a sensation that the baby is settling deeper into your pelvis. This is known as lightening. The baby's new position may give your lungs more room to expand, making it easier to breathe. On the flip side, you may experience pelvic discomfort, and increased pressure on your bladder may send you to the bathroom more often. For a first pregnancy, lightening may occur weeks or days before labor begins. For subsequent pregnancies, it may not happen ahead of time. For some women, the changes are obvious. Others may not notice a thing.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post ZOMGimrae Posted at 11:45 am on Oct. 2, 2008 Im 35 weeks pregnant. And my mom said she noticed that the baby is dropping. Is there like an estimate of how much time i've got left before i go into labor. Im already getting minor tightening and loosening of my belly.

Replies ZOMGimrae Posted at 8:22 am on Oct. 3, 2008 Well i went to the ER last night. Because the pain got worse. Turns out, My OBGYN never told me i had a really bad bladder infection. Which was causing the pain and stomach spasms. katrinadoodle Posted at 4:06 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 No, it's not. Jay started dropping at 34 weeks and I started dilating AND loosing my mucous plug around the same time... I still didn't go into labor until 39 weeks. audrey820 Posted at 11:56 am on Oct. 2, 2008 This site has some good info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/signs-of-labor/PR00083 Here's what would specifically interest you.

But as far as the last appointment, no. Molfsontan Posted at 11:46 am on Oct. 2, 2008 Has the dilation started yet?
