Awww hun :hug: Your bubba might be the awkward type and do it last min when you in Labour :lol: ( your carrying a man remember :rotfl: ) you never Know next week you could be engaged :)
 
Yes, but shes not fully engaged only 3/5ths but that still means she could go over, some babies engage even earlier and the pregnancy has still gone over the due date.

You can never be certain :D
 
ok.. was told wen they put 2/5 (without the word 'engaged') it means something else... i cant remember tho

Ebony i was 5/5 engages with my first pregnancy from 24 weeks, my waters broke at 26 weeks and Adele was born at 29 weeks

THEY SAY THAT YOUR SECOND PREGNANCY IT CAN TAKE BABY TILL THE LAST KICK OF THE BALL TO GO FULLY ENGAGED


ebony not being funny right but the last couple of posts ive read you seem very dry with a few people not mentioning any names is it just my imagination or is it the hormoans, sorry but if it was me you were speaking to that way i would be rather annoyed off but then i guess some people arent as open minded as i am. I would just read over your posts and think how some people might feel
 
I don't want to get into a fight with anyone - but this is what my midwife said about being engaged....

She said that when you write 5/5 this is as much of the babies head that you can feel... so you can basically feel all of it.... At the minute she tells me I am 2/5 which means that she can only feel 2 fifths of the babies head and the rest has engaged........ again I don't know if this is the same as everyone elses midwife but this is as she explained it to me.

So Wannabamum if ur baby is 3/5ths then the midwife can only feel a third of the baies head and it is well on its way to coming out! Or at least it is getting into a position where it is ready to come out... I have hear that some women engage at 30 weeks but babies can move about at any time and can dis-engage ( or so I am told) and again as someone has said some babies do not engage at all until the waters break or the woman goes into labour.

The important thing is your MW has said all is ok. :D

Yes everything is ok!
i know that the baby can come in and out of being engaged but i was just so excited yesterday!!
in future when i post something ill ask wether im right first!! :cry:
