maternity notes

[Kimbo]

sorry mods if this is in the wrong section...
but theres just something on my notes that i don't understand.. well i think i dont anyway

i know that presentation = "ceph" means head down..

but next to that in the grid, it says

Rein PP to Brim... and the midwife has wrote "free".
she's wrote "free" in every box since 27 weeks (i go every 2 weeks).
does that mean my pelvis is free of babys head??
and she's no where near engaging??

 

[sarah113]

Yes it means babys not engaged yet

 

[mrs_tommo22]

It means the babys head is nt enegaged hunni.

 

[kellie80]

Yes it means she can still feel the babies head and its free so not engaged. On my notes when it was engaged she wrote ceph fixed.

 

[kimmumof2]

yeh free means the head isnt engaged and then can still move it about fixed usually means its now engaging.
