Baby Dropping Early

[Guest guest]

Hi there, Yes, my baby, also a boy, started moving down around 34

weeks too, I had to stop working (busy busy hairstylist) at 36 weeks

due to a raise in my blood pressure when standing and ALOT of

cramping but now , after resting for 2 weeks I am just past 38 weeks

and going in to be induced on Thursday night due to my blood pressure

going up and down somewhat erratically and the doc says he will be

fine to be born 10 days before our original due date.

Good Luck with your new son!! He'll be here soon!!

Demrie,

If this is your first baby, it is not uncommon for the first baby to

drop early in preparation for childbirth. Cramping could be a sign

that you were doing too much but it could also be because the baby

has dropped. With my first one, I had to stop going for walks for

exercise after 6 months because of the pressure I would get and

cramping. If you get cramping again, get off your feet and rest.

Talk to your doctor at your next appointment about it and call if it

is too bad or doesn't go away when you rest.
