Just back from midwife!

[LucyB.]

Just got back from the midwife and she told me that George's head is 1/5 in my pelvis. Is this normal for how far along I am? When hes 5/5 will that mean labour? Xxx

Wow your wee ones keen!! Babies usually don't start to engage til 36 weeks or later for second babies. All good though- maybe an early appearance....!!!! Xx

5/5 is fully engaged and considered the time you will most likely go into labour

Mine is 3/5ths engaged and he sat at 2/5ths for weeks and weeks though, from about week 34 actually dropped to 3/5ths this week.

mine was 2/5ths engaged at 29 weeks then moved and is only just back at 2/5ths again.
Im sure its 5/5ths means labour x

5/5ths does mean labour but I've heard that they can sit at certain stages for a long time, or move in and out, and some people aren't engaged at all until they actually go into labour. That wasn't really very helpful was it?! x

My two dds heads wernt engaged at all but i went into labour myself.

Mine's been engaged for about 3 weeks and still no labour so don't panic xx
