midwife app, 4/5 engaged

[Louise_a]

i know this is only just starting but is it early??? i mentioned that ive been feeling alot of sharp low down pains and lots of pressure so i was felt and told its starting to engage.

how quickly from this point will full engagement be or can it be just one of those things... as and when...

Are you 4/5 enagaged or 4/5 free?

Mine says 4/5 too and we were told that it means she can feel 4/5 of the babys head so baby is actually 1/5 engaged

when does it normally start to engage? is it as varied as 'when will the baby be born' ??
