How do I know if the baby dropped?

ericamanuela

I'm a FTM and I'm curious, how would I know if my baby dropped? I know that his is head down, in position because my doctor told me so. I've been feeling discomfort and pressure way down in my pelvis, by my pubic bone. I also feel a lot of pressure on my bladder and I'm a little more swollen down there. I feel lots of movement very low (is that just his head moving around? it feels like hands.) My belly is low and rests on my legs. I guess I'm confused because when the baby drops don't you experience "lightening". If so, why do I still feel pressure and tightness right below my breasts and why hasn't my acid reflux and heartburn let up? Sorry for all the questions.
