Engaged 2/5

I had midwife appointment & they said babies head is engaged and about 2/5.

I dont remember them doing this with my 1st. I did ask what it meant, they said it meant baby is getting ready/in position.

My question is, anyone else been told this, if so how far gone were you & have you had your baby yet?

I looked online & saw that subsequent pregnancies can mean baby will come in a few days time altho this isnt a confirmed sign of info used to predict labour is near etc.

Just curious if anyone else is in this position, im 38+4 very uncomfortable & praying i dont end up overdue, I was 40+5 with my 1st 😬

Midwife didn’t tell me but I always read my notes after and on my 38 week appointment it said I was 2/5
I’m now 40 weeks.

Frustratingly my midwife said all her girls currently due are now overdue aswell, so seems like the spontaneous route is gonna be a long wait still 🙄

So my consultant and midwife said with your second they don't tend to say about being engaged because they come up and down all the time as it's been previously 'stretched'. So I was 3/5 engaged and now gone back. Not sure it's true x

I was the same at my 38 week appointment. This is my second pregnancy and will be 40 weeks on Friday and no sign of baby yet.

Maybe a April baby not a May one

So I'm not due till May 10th but with how my body has been feeling the last couple days I reckon I'll definitely not make it to my due date or even to May before I have my baby 😅 the intense pressure I've had has been insane I can't walk more then 5 mins without being in pain, slowly started loosing my mucus plug yesterday and then today I feel like my body is having a clear out 😬 i genuinely feel like my body is preparing 😅(I hope so)
I have a growth scan next week but my consultant said on my last appointment (2 weeks ago) that I might not make it to my next scan 😅 like sorry hun I think you know something I don't 😂

Growth scan scaring me thinking I’m gonna have a massive baby 👶🏼

So I had a growth scan at 27 weeks and baby was plotting on 50th centile. Had another growth scan today at 32 weeks and they’ve said he weighs around 4lb 10 😳 they haven’t reported and plotted on my chart yet but that sounds like a lot when I still have 8 weeks left 🙈🤣

Odd feeling!

Hi all. 18+3 here with first baby 🩷. Today I’ve had some odd sensations. It’s in a similar area period pains would be, but it’s not a cramp- it’s very quick. It almost feels like a ‘swoop’ rather than a cramp or pain 🤔. Has anyone had this? Should I be concerned? As I say, it’s not happening constantly, and it’s maybe a second or less at a time, no pattern. Very quick and just feels like swoop feeling from the inside with a mild uncomfy feeling but not really painful?

first baby and I’m clueless. Thankyou!

32 week ultrasound

Yesterday I had my 32-week ultrasound at 32W4D. I read the results and it says based on the size of my baby I am 35 weeks with an EDD of May 19th. Lucky for me, I track everything on my phone, so I know that isn't possible. I have an appointment with my OBGYN on Monday but I'm wondering whether they are just telling me my baby is big? Has anyone else been in the same boat before and still had the original due date? I was set on a June baby 😅

Car accident

I had a minor car accident this morning. I’ve been having my usual pelvic pain but been getting mild cramping but have felt her move since. Do I need to get checked or shall I monitor as I am out at the moment as my daughter is at a club and don’t want to make a fuss of nothing but also don’t want to risk anything
Don’t even have my notes on me and nowhere near my usual hospital

Baby weight

Has anyone had a growth scan and been told a predicted weight and it’s actually been accurate? Interested to know what all your babies were predicted and what they actually weighed😊
