The second babies head doesnt engage till labour!! dont know why but my midwife told me.... plus i dont really have to worry about turning her from back to back till that last two week instead of 6 weeks with first babies.

But i am taking no chances and on my birthing ball as much as i can be bothered haha

really?
my first didn't get a chance to engage as I had an emergency ceasarean at 35 weeks...so will this one be like a second baby or a first baby? lol :lol:
 
This is my second pregnancy and LO's head has ben engaged for at least a week. The thing with second pregnancies though is that they can wriggle out - I am pretty sure that this is because your muscles etc have been through birth once before and have therefore been stretched. The baby definitely engages later on in pregnancy with the second than the first.
 
With my last he kept popping his head in and out of there. Right up until I was in labour
 
yeh my mw told me this also. becus somedays i can feel the pressure like she has engaged and it feels like a need a wee everytime i stand up and then other days i dont feel any pressure at all so mw sed its probably her engaging slightly and then moving but that is normal with second or more pregnancies.
