i have my 38 + 5 app tomorrow, how did she test to see how engaged you are ? feeling your tummy or ?
yeah she felt my tummy

Some babies don’t engage until right at the end, with my first I was 2/5 engaged at 38 weeks and then my daughter was born at 39+1. This time I have been engaged since 36 weeks, currently 38+3

I dont think it means anything personally. I was 2/5 engaged last Tuesday at my 38 week appointment n had my little girl Saturday x

It doesnt really mean anything unfortunately. I was 3/5 engaged on the tuesday & went into labour on the thursday. But know people who have been fully engaged and have still waited a while!

I was 1/5 engaged at 37 weeks and my baby came at 39 weeks, I wouldn’t worry to much about engagement. They can go from 0-5 engaged very quickly x
