getting baby to drop
anyone know of any exercises, etc that exist that get your baby to drop into the pelvis? Last week he was not engaged at all, hoping that at tomorrow's appointment (37+2) he's moved a bit but if not, I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to help things along!

Try walking a lot. I stopped working out at 5 months but I walk A LOT. As of yesterday, at 36 weeks, the baby is fully in position and ready to come out. You can always try squats...those are great for the cervix to dilate quicker.

Re: getting baby to drop
Walk.
That said, some babies don't drop until you're in labor. Don't panic!

Too early for you yet, but at the very end you can use a yoga ball.

Re: getting baby to drop
Squats and walking both open up your pelvis allowing the baby more room to drop down. Good luck!
