In my way to hospital

He is only 1/5th engaged tho so surely not engaged enough to be born?

doesn't 1/5 engaged mean hes praactically fully engaged? don't they do it as in how much of the head they can feel, so they can only feel 1/5 of his head? x
 
I wasn't engaged at my last appt and my midwife said not to worry at all as it can happen during labour


 
She put 4/5th palpable so j took that as 1/5th engaged

So he's 4/5th engaged? That sounds about right for the number of weeks you are. Really glad you both ok! xxx
 
1/5 means v close to giving birh! As in dropped right right down.
 
You're right it means that he's 1/5 engaged (4/5 can still be felt outside the pelvic, so only 1/5 has engaged into it) - but as so many ladies have already said, that doesn't necessarily mean much, sometimes it doesn't happen until you're in established labour. Anyway, a bit of bouncing can't do any harm... :wink:
