Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. Week 36-37 is common for the baby dropping and thats probably why your doctor indicated that you should have dropped by now. Every woman is different though and a specific date or week could certainly change for each woman.
In regard to your question about a vaginal birth, you will have to wait to see what your doctor tells you. If your baby does not drop, I will assume that your doctor will suggest having a C section. Try to be patient and listen to what your doctor tells you about walking and squatting as this is common to help your baby to drop.
