My baby has been 3/5 engaged since 32 weeks. It is painful! Baby is now 4/5 engaged... so I wouldn't think it means you're going straight into labour sorry. I don't find I can walk very far without a rest now because the pains I get in my cervix are too much.

Good luck :D

lmao @ heva&zacky as u posted i was actually checking it out lol!! np i wont be mad at u ill just think u have it in for me lol (jokes) i think im going to try it it sounds ok it does mention it can hurt but i am ok with pain its just more my face that hurts more lol.. but it also mentioned that it should be started 2 weeks before u want some results but some get them within 6-48 hrs after their visit.. lol

Party of 5 i have made plans lol but its for all her stuff lol i have to put my car seats etc in tomorrown thursday i plan on putting her crap away n setting it up n knowing my luck thats not the plans she wants hahahah :)

Thanks ladies...

Haven't read all the replies but just wanted to pop in and say that you don't have to be completely engaged to go into labour :) My DS never engaged until my waters broke and I'd already been in active labour for 15 hours! Then of course he just went straight down lol!

So you could go at any time! Good luck. Oh and also nipple stimulation worked for me!

yeah i heard that too, my mw told me today that where i am now is really good n that fully engaged isnt always till labour is in full swing..

Mwahahahahahaaa!

I had the accupuncture the day my waters broke because the hossy said I only had 48 hours to have him before they induced me. They do 2 types for birth - one is to help your body to get ready and the other is to bring on labor. I had the latter at about 9am and was having irregular contractions at 3 30pm-ish.
I think they recommend you start with just preparing you body then progress to the actual induction later on.

My accupuncturist (um is that a word?) said it usually takes 2 or 3 sessions for the induction treatment to work. So you might be in for a couple of sessions.

Lol!!
K cool I'm gonna go look into some today n see if they look ok lol yes I'm a chicken :) thanks heaps :)

I'm stalking now to see how you're going :D

lol thats ok :) well ive had alot of BH today so im waiting to see if they eventuate into anything hopefully fingers x'd lol

:crossfingers:

i tried every way possible to bring on labour! haha in the end i was 12 days over due and they were planning on inducing me the next day, but apparently the threat of being induced made him decide to come out naturally, with a very quick 2 hour labout he was here lol.

however, nipple stim did bring on BHs so did the S&S (when i was post dates) but i did try accupressure? i dunno if you've heard of it or tried it but its similar to accupuncture only instead of needles you press certain points with your fingers. i tried it at about 3.30pm and went into labour at 10.45pm and bub was born at 12.48am. couldnt have been the hugest coincidence but it cant hurt.

yeah im looking into a few avenues but ive decided to wait till monday before i try anything as thats when dh starts holidays lol :)
but i did try the nipple stimulation n it made them sore lol like really sensitive is that normal??
im trying little things now but ill save the big ones for monday day :)
im still having heaps of BH so maybe my body is preparing itself we will have to see what happends but i hope it does soon im getting so anxious to see her!!

From the time I was about 2 weeks pg if anyone touched my nipples I wanted to punch them! Seriously like over sensitive to painful, was like that for all 3 pregnancies :D so yep pretty normal, well for some of us anyway lol

You know now that you're waiting for Monday you'll probably go before then :p

Lmao yeah I even feel like hitting myself for touching them :) lol u know wat I HOPE SO!!! I hope Sunday nite I go into labour but knowing my luck.... Nothing will happen :(

Haha I know what you mean even now (I'm still BF) if I or DS brushes a hand against them it's horrible (feeding's fine though)

I'll be stalking stalking stalking! :p

Lol I feel ya! N jus cause willow ur my stalker now lol :) I'll giv u an update I just left the bossy cause I'm blown up like a balloon n my blood presssure is up so I have to go bak tomorrow n if it doesn't change n dependin on my bloods I might have to stay there till I deliver :( not happy lol might hav to start trying to get her out sooner than Monday lol all my plans change every day lmao.... :)

i was reading the other day what a IM had to say about natural induction methods... just leads to frustrating & draining prelabour.

So true.

My suggestion is to just get on with your day to day stuff & try not to think about it. :)

*stalky stalky stalky*
