34 week midwife appointment

hi girls, had my 34 week midwife appointment this morning and she said that baby is 3/5 engaged. I know babies can wiggle their way out of engagement but just wanted to know how far is the head in the pelvis if its 3/5? thanks

Basically you are a dodgy Easter bonnet at a jaunty angle lol. Albert was 3/5ths at 34 weeks then popped out at 36 weeks then popped back in again xxxxxxxxx

How do they find out how engaged you are? x

They poke at your belly lol

My last appointment the mw wrote 4/5 ceph in the notes which means 4/5 of the head can be felt above the pelvis so it is 1/5 engaged. Or at least I think this is what it means!!
