How many weeks of pregnancy does the baby drop into the pelvis

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for first-time mothers, the presenting part usually begins to descend into the pelvis around two weeks before delivery (at about 38 weeks of pregnancy). After the descent, the fundus of the uterus drops, and the pregnant woman often feels more comfortable in the upper abdomen and finds it easier to breathe. Additionally, symptoms such as a sensation of lower abdominal fullness and frequency of urination may appear.
