Been told by midwife we are 2/5 engaged. Has anyone else had this just looking for references and timescales?

I’m 36 weeks and I’m 2/5 engaged

It means 3/5 of the baby’s head is in your pelvic …. So they could only feel 2/5 of the head

3/5s at 36 weeks xx

babies can bob in and out of your pelvis when they move , don’t worry too much , if you have a birth ball use that as much as possible xxx

I was 2/5 at 34 weeks + 3 days and now 37 weeks and 3 days and no different :)

My baby has been 3/5 engaged from 36 weeks and he was the same at 38 weeks. Apparently if it’s your first baby, they might go into full engagement position only when labour starts.

I was 2/5 at 36 weeks and not engaged at all 38 weeks 🙈 now 40 weeks and still no signs of labour hehe. Don’t read into it too much!! Xx

Okay so basically it can really depend on when baby is ready and the engagement doesn’t mean too much! Thank you girls xxxx

My midwife said I'm engaged on my last 2 appointments and she couldn't move her head out of my pelvis at all on both, 38+4 said I was 3/5 now 39 weeks and she's definitely still down there xx
