    Thanks ladies. As suspected, there's huge variation there. I'm more apprehensive about your timeline Winter. I need a few more weeks please! Mind you, not sure how long I'm going to want to manage this waddle for. And I have a very automatic habit of crossing my legs when I sit down which now, if I even so much as attempt, bubs belts me in the ribs!!

    Hehe. Pie didn't engage until I'd been in labour for a few hours - and a minute or two before she crowned. I can't remember the others exactly although I do recall DS1 (baby no.2) moved up & down a fair bit in the last 4 weeks, really messed with my head.
    So seeing as you need a few more weeks, fingers crossed this bub moves up again for you

    Both bub's engaged very early for me. I think I had around 8-10 weeks with both of them engaged to some extent before they decided it was time to arrive.
