A member asked:
Can a pregnant woman "drop" if the baby is breeched?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Dropping has to do with the baby moving down in the pelvis, giving you a little more room to breathe, but making you feel a lot more pressure on your bladder. This can occur whether the baby is head up (breech) or head down. Some say it means you will deliver soon, but that isn't always true - it can drop for weeks before delivery at times.
