Title says it all really!! I've just got back from midwife and baby is not even a tiny bit engaged. I'm so annoyed because I've been on my ball for at least an hour a day and been on long, brisk walks every day. I even went for an hour long walk in the pouring rain yesterday :-( My normal midwife was away today, but the midwife I saw said that if baby is fully engaged, my midwife would probably sweep me at my next appointment if I wanted her to, and it was possible. But I'm so deflated and keep just thinking well there is no way the baby is going to be fully engaged in two weeks if s/he is totally free now. And so now at my next appointment it will be twice as crap because i will have missed an opportunity for an early sweep :-( I want to just go to bed and cry!!!
 
Aww hun. chin up! there is plenty of time and some do go down a lot faster than others. S/he could be fully engaged by next week hun, you never know, some go down then bob back up again but others wait a while then go down fast and stay there!
Not long to go now, i totally understand that these last few week DRAG in but its so worth it and soon you will be wondering where the time went!
 
Hey hon, don't worry yet - babies can engage really quickly and go from free to fully engaged easily between appointments - u still have time x x x
 
i wasnt engaged at 37wks, but yesterday at consultant i was 2/5 (not sure if this is good or not :-/
is a high number better than a low number?

but theve booked me in at consultant again at 41 weeks, but all said they doubt they will see me then...

got midwife on my due date, but i wana be offered a sweep b4 then,lol i think il ring the docs and book in nxt week with the M/W just incase, lol

they will twist, turn n do what ever they want in there until they come out hun.. :hugs:
Noa was perfect until i was 9 days overdue when he turned back to back :wall: n i had sat on that ball hours n hours for weeks..
 
Harvey was a sod they couldn't tell if he was breech so had to go for a scan (thankfully he was head down but not engaged) i broke my ankle and landed on my bump and it didn't start labour and I never got to bounce on my ball and he arrived on his due date so there is hope!!!!
 
hey hon I have been this morning and baby is not engaged yet either they cannot move him so he is almost there but not quite, am sure he will do soon
