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.

I was 3/5 at 39 weeks. No signs of labour, currently 41+3

I was 2/5 at 36 weeks, now 39+1 😂😭

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.
