To be honest honey,we can’t define what is normal,no two members experiences are exactly the same,from what I have read on the forum over the months,it appears that others have experienced similar,with mine they seemed to soften and drop almost overnight,one before the other which at the time,for me was worrying as I did’nt have the support of the forum,to compare my experience with others,but other members have posted that they have experienced similar to you,in that they have dropped before they softened completely,give the nurse a ring if you are worried honey to put your mind at rest.xx
