34 week belly - dropping already?

So I'm 1 day shy of 34 weeks. In the last 24 hours every shirt I have tried on seem 'not quite long enough' anymore and my pants feel miserable. My husband said my belly went from basketball to pear and looks lower. The twins push so hard on anything that touches the belly, I feel like I can't put any of my maternity pants/shorts on (makes it hard when you are still going into the office periodically).

Anyway - just from experience is this normal? I remember reading that close to the end the proportions of our twin bellies makes us go up in size in shirts, I just HATE buying anything else maternity at this point.

Also - is dropping a good sign or is it too early???

 

It's all a blur at this point, so I don't remember at what week the belly dropped. I see your twins are due 9/20, mine were due 9/21 and they were born 9/3. I think the last time I bothered to wear jeans or pants was june - after that, I only wore maternity dresses. I had about 7 of them, and I was wearing them on a regular basis. I worked until the last weekend before birth. I remember feeling lucky I was pregnant during summertime so I don't have to put pants or socks or boots on, my belly was so big, I was wondering how would I have been able to do that if it was January . Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

 

Mine dropped a couple of times, it really doesn't mean too too much. I think it was around 32 wks and then 34 wks. Mine were born at 36 wks 2 days.

 

I do remember mine dropping around 34-35 weeks and then again after 36-37 weeks. So totally normal! Mine were born at 40 weeks.

 

Mine dropped a couple of weeks before the birth but I wore dresses, too, to help with the pain. I also had an itching disorder so elastic was a no-go on my belly.

 

That's interesting! I think mine dropped today too, plus I was way hungrier today than I have been!
