So I had my 36 +1 appointment today and baby is head down (has been for the last 5ish weeks) but he’s still not engaged! He’s also measuring 1 week ahead for the first time the whole pregnancy.
Is this something to be concerned about?
Any tips/tricks to get baby engaged?
If you’ve got a birthing ball then bouncing on that can help them engage, Kurb walking and sitting backwards on a dining chair all help open your pelvis up which can help baby move down into it.
My baby wasn’t engaged either and I have a feeling she’s turned sideways by the way her movements feel but I’m getting induced in 6 days so really really need her to be head down still!
But usually it isn’t a concern though. It still can be quite early for them to engage fully x

I'm currently 36+5 weeks and had my appointment and is in the right direction and not engaged and she's measuring 2 weeks in front. I just walk as much as I can currently looking to get raspberry tea soon and a ball ro bounce on
