Baby engaged 37 weeks
I was told last week at 37 weeks that baby is fully engaged and very low down by my midwife. This is my second baby and I’ve read that second time around baby usually engages later on. My midwife said she doesn’t think she will see my at my next appt (39 weeks) as she thinks the baby will come early based on this! Does this mean labour is near? Any second time mums experienced the same and did baby come early?

I was told this with this, this is my second baby however it’s my due date tomorrow and still no sign of her arriving
I have a midwife appointment tomorrow.
I am 36+2 with my second and baby has been fully engaged and low down in my pelvis since 34 weeks, head down since 26 weeks. Baby is in fact so low down that at my growth scan today it was impossible to have a look at babies head. My consultant has reassured me that this does not mean that labour is near, some babies just tend to do this early. Especially with multiple pregnancies.
