When a baby 'drops' during pregnancy, it means the baby is descending into the birth canal as delivery nears. This process, also known as 'lightening,' can happen anywhere from a few weeks to a few hours before labor begins. After the baby drops, various changes occur, such as engagement, descent, flexion, rotation, and expulsion. Pregnant individuals may experience easier breathing, changes in belly shape, increased pelvic pressure, frequent urination, improved eating capacity, reduced heartburn, more discharge, and increased Braxton-Hicks contractions. Labor can start shortly after the baby drops or take several weeks, and certain activities like walking, squats, and pelvic opening exercises may help the baby descend into the pelvis in preparation for childbirth.
