Lets talk about...Baby Engaging...

[Taurean]

Hi hon! Can't believe you're 38 weeks already!!! Maybe that catchup will have to wait, lol

I may be wrong but isn't it common for second and subsequent babies to not engage until labour starts? DD was only 2/5 engaged at the absolute best but she engaged fine when labour started (or was established) and we had a brilliant, albeit painful posterior vaginal birth.

I SO hope you get your VBAC hon. I have everything crossed (or should it be 'uncrossed'? ) for you

my bubs engaged whilst in labour!
i had a vbac too- he was my 2nd labour
good luck and plenty of time
btw i was told that i would struggle to have a vbac as bubs was going to be too big
at 37+5, he decided that it was time and came out after a very easy labour with no probs at 8lb!
so yeah he would have been big if i went 40 weeks, but i didnt and my body totally knew what to do at its own time
trust your body and trust your instincts!!
good luck

I also thought this was the case and I'm pretty sure my baby didn't engage until she was ready to arrive.

I'll be sending you lots of VB vibes.

It is not unusual for baby not to engage until labour starts

Read my birth story again

Her head was still mobile and floating while I was in labour - started pushing 2.5 hours after that!!
