What does this mean does it give any clues to how close Labour is? 😅

ChatGPT says: So, 2/5 engaged generally means the baby’s head is well down in the pelvis, but it does not necessarily mean labour is about to start. Engagement can happen days or weeks before labour, particularly with a first baby.

Also my midwife says baby is 2/5 currently but she meant it as head has another 3 to go until fully engaged. She said all midwives measure differently as when you google it 2/5 technically should mean head is basically nearly engaged🤦♀️ so not sure why where I live they do it the opposite to what they’re meant to.
But no it makes no difference, labour can start and then at that point baby can move down and become engaged so don’t need to worry too much. Although it’s more optimum chance of successful vaginal birth if baby is engaged xx

I was told I was 3/5 at 37 weeks im 40+1 now still no sign of labour 😅 just means babies in a good position for when you are :)
Has anyone else paid for a scan and not been able to see baby’s face? My partner feels like it was a waste of money I see where he’s coming from but I’m just glad I got to hear baby’s heart beat and seeing the baby moving. What would you do?

Hey, im going to be 37 next year, i have a 2 yr old and my and my partner are considering a second child. With my first I had to have an emergency c section so likely would be booked for a c section for a 2nd. Can anyone shed some hard truth stories of having a second my age as well as having a 2nd c section and the recovery

I’m just sitting here minding my own business at 8 months pregnant and my toddler comes up to me and says “who got you pregnant”!!!
I looked at her like “what” and she repeated herself so I said “her daddy”! So she said “why did my daddy get you pregnant” 😳
So I said “I don’t know”! She says “it’s fine I will call him and ask him”…. She grabs my phone calls her dad who’s at work and he was sounded mortified, when she said “why did you get my mummy pregnant”! I couldn’t fully remember what he said because I couldn’t stop laughing!!! Nothing can prepare you to be a parent to a toddler!! 😭😂

Im 40 weeks on Sunday and have a C-section booked for Tuesday. I don’t want the section but because of previous C-section due to preemie baby I’m not allowed to be induced - either by body goes into labour naturally or C-section :( - I have a needy toddler at home so would prefer natural in terms of recovery!
Please give me all your tips 🙏🏼
