And a fifth added: "I didn't know it really was a visible transition (until the obvious) this is beautiful. thank you for sharing. *not me crying*."

'Dropping' is also referred to as 'lightening' which - according to Healthline - happens when labour is approaching.
"It happens when the babyâs head literally âdropsâ lower into your pelvis, becoming engaged within your pubic bones. This starts babyâs descent down and out into the world," they explain.
"Lightening can start as early as a few weeks before labor actually begins. But for some women, it happens only a few hours before labor starts.
"Every pregnancy is different. While labor isnât far off for some women when their baby drops, others may have weeks to go. And some never really feel their baby drop until labor officially begins."
