Second babies engaging

[KatysMummy]

Hi,

Mums of 2 or more babies.......

How long from being told that your baby was engaged was it until you went into labour??

 

[Jendon]

I was told a week ago LO was ready to go - second pregnancy - still waiting!!

Nathan was about a week before he was born and Aimee didn't engage till I was in labour.

I think Keely posted somethin about this sayin that most 2nd babies heads don't engage til your in labour

 

[KatysMummy]

Yeah, she did....it is common for them not to engage or to engage then pop back out!! Midwife told me today I am engaged & maybe she won't see me in 2 weeks at my next appt, so was just wondering what peoples experiences were!!

Katy was born at 37+4 so I guess i'm just getting impatient!! I know she'll come when shes good and ready but why did it have to get so hot now!?!?!?!?

this is my second and she was 4/5 on wed and today was 3/5 so sounds like she is gettin there but doc sed with second or more labours it can take 1 contraction to get baby fully engaged so they are not likely to engage until labour starts.
