All was great, glucose was found in my water but not worried as this hasn't happened before (I blame the bag of mini eggs I ate last night :lol:) Baby is engaging..she has written 3/5 'palpable' and that's what I need the advice on..what does this mean? Baby has only got 2/5's to go or the other way round? So confusing :?
 
it means 2/5ths of her head is in your pelvis.. and the midwife can still feel 3/5ths.
palpable means that is what she can feel :D :hug:
 
Its way better than not being engaged at all! And pretty good going for 34 weeks
 
Thanks Kimbo!! God you make so much more sense then the Midwife!!
I know it doesn't make a difference as to when I go into labour but it really has made my day, just knowing that things are 'on the move' :)
