According to Medical News Today, a baby dropping (also called "lightning") is when the infant's head moves lower down into the mother's pelvis. Before dropping, the baby may rotate so that the back of its head is facing down and toward the front of the stomach.
According to the NHS' official website, this is a potential sign that the end of the pregnancy is nearing and the body is preparing for the birth. The site states:
"In the last weeks, some time before birth, the baby's head should move down into your pelvis. When your baby's head moves down like this, it's said to be 'engaged'.
"When this happens, you may notice your bump seems to move down a little. Sometimes the head does not engage until labor starts."
Some medical reports state that this usually happens toward the end of the third trimester of pregnancy but others proclaim that it is difficult to predict.
Nevertheless, the TikToker's camera was set up perfectly to record the phenomenal moment. In her follow-up videos, the mother has shared precious clips with her little one.
And she's not the only mom to capture the incredible moment.
Another woman - who uses the handle @nabby.nabs on TikTok - was recording her bump while at 38 weeks pregnant, when she suddenly noticed it move and drop lower. You can check that video out here.
