    Could be either really, Julia was engaged at 37 weeks but I still had to be induced at 41 weeks but others I know had their bubs early when engaged fully, did she say your baby was fully engaged? or just engaged.

    Ooh yep. It could mean anything, or nothing! hehe. In my experience, my baby only has to headbutt my cervix and I go into labour LOL. (my theory as to why DD was early!) Neither of mine really engaged until right before labour, which is why i think them engaging triggered it!

    All the best. The nesting could be a sign! but I agree - take it easy! Enjoy your last couple of weeks (days maybe?) of peace I say this, because your 1st pregnancy is the only one you can actually sit around and enjoy. Subsequent ones.. well there's already another kidlet to run around after, so enjoy this pg as long as possible!

    Hi there!

    With DD she decided to engage at 35 weeks...and yep, as someone said previously...walking with a watermelon in your pelvis is so apt! LOL!

    It made work hard, so i left a week early and DD was born at 38 weeks.

    Good luck and either way, not long to go!!
