Unfortunately head engaged doesn't necessarily mean labour is near, its a positive sign that baby is getting into position in the pelvis but baby can be engaged for days/weeks prior to labour starting, I've been engaged for 2 weeks and no baby yet

I’ve been engaged (4/5) since 8th Jan and didn’t get to 3/5 until 10th Feb and still 3/5 now at 38 weeks 4 days. I think our babies are comfy and we are making them good homes 😊❤️

Baby was 4/5 engaged at 32 weeks but now I’m 40+5 and not engaged 🥲 baby can bob in and out.
Also engagement is the opposite to what you think so 0/5 is total engagement
Thanks ladies, back to bouncing on my
Ball😂😂

I think different midwives use it differently… I was not engaged at all at my 34 week appointment, then she wrote 1/5 engaged at my 36 week one… I’m sure my baby wasn’t fully engaged then…
