    14 days over with dd1
    12 days over with dd2
    11 days over with dd3

    Dd2 didn't engage till labour started, dd3 still wasn't engaged when I was in labour, so I just did a lot of squats with my contractions to open my pelvis up more

    DS overdue 12 days, induced labour, 4 hours.
    DD 3 days over, natural labour, 2 hours.

    DS was engaged for a while (a couple of weeks), whereas DD didn't engage before labour. Both labours my waters didn't break until the pushing stage, both labours were quite similar even though the first was induced.

    DD1 - 12 days over, never engaged, still not properly engaged after 30+ hrs of labour.
    DD2- 2 days over, engaged from around 30 weeks, much lower and got those stabbing pains you're talking about, lots of pre-labour.

    DD1 - 8 days over
    DD2 - 7 days over
    DS - 2 days early
    DD3 - 5 days over

    I expected DD2 to be over. Didn't expect DS to come early (for me )! Then coz he did, I thought DD3 might be early too... nope!

    DD1 I think was the only one of mine to engage before labour. DD2 & DS didn't. Honestly can't remember with DD3, but I doubt it, since at my last appointment she was in the right position, but was born posterior.
