Yes, babies can still move after dropping. When a baby drops, or 'lightening,' into the pelvis, they still have room to move around. You might feel their kicks and wiggles differently due to their lower position. Continue to monitor fetal movements and consult your healthcare provider if you notice any significant changes.
