CPD???? Could I be one of the unlucky ones?

With Miss 3, my first pregnancy, I had an appointment on the Friday afternoon and she wasn't engaged and went into labour the next day and only had a four hour labour. I've just got back from the Dr today and this baby hasn't engaged yet at nearly 38 weeks. But I haven't got any pelvis problems so I don't know if that helps you at all

Yup thats what I meant, lots of first time mums whose babes didn't engage til labour. They are just comfy floating about!!! I also know some first time bubs who engaged, unengaged, engaged again.... these babies do what they want!! But at the end of the day, they ALL COME OUT!!! Your body will labour eventually and your baby will engage eventually too.

Thanks for your post Jesstibb. That's really re-assuring to know! How many weeks were you when you went into labour? Best of luck for the birth of bubba #2. How exciting

Thanks for your reply again Kelly. BTW I know I'm going slightly off track but if I'm going to start my bachelor of midwifery in the next couple of years DH and I were just discussing that we might have to tighten the spending and ditch a few luxuries, one of which is our private health insurance. So it looks like I might be going public with my next bub. I'm a teeny bit apprehensive because it'll be a different care model than what I'm used to, but I know it's probably a good thing because the Gold Coast hospital is very pro VBAC.
Oh also, can you recommend any good doula's on the Gold Coast?

Miss 3 was four days early.
