A member asked:
I'm 35 weeks and it feels like baby is very low and about to come out. it's uncomfortable to sit, stand and walk. cervix is very soft. is labor near?

Soon but not now: Once the baby drops, it is about 4 weeks before labor usually starts. Hopefully, gravity and Mother Nature will relieve you of this short term discomfort and bring the joy of a new baby at that time.
