Baby engaging

[dpsrm]

Ever since I could feel my baby move he’s been sitting on my right side with his legs over to the left and kicking me like mad and giving me really bad backache!!

At the weekend he was moving a hell of a lot and now the right side of me feels empty, the backache is gone completely and I’ve got a lot of pressure in my pelvis. The only movement I get now is all over the top of my bump, left and right, as if he’s head down and doing scissor kicks. (that's the only way I can describe it ).

Does this mean he’s engaged? I’ve read that it can happen quite early but I’m only 31 weeks, is that possible?

Thanks, Rachel

Not engaged, his head is positioned down, I always thought that meant engaged but it doesn't. Engaged is when the head starts moving down into position.

My LO turned head down at 31 weeks too, I think a few ladies on here were even earlier than that. Apparently, though, if youa re tall, meaning you have a lot of room for your LO to move, they can kept changing positions for a while.

My LO keeps kicking me in my ribs now, ever so uncomfy!

Hiya, I think it just means its head down. Mines been head down since about 26 weeks
