pregnancy jargon..i got no idea

[1stimer]

hi there,

So i had my midwife appointment and everything was good, but when i got home i noticed that she had put on my yellow card 1/5

Does any one no wat this means cos i have no idea and i cant find an explanation anywhere

im not worried but someone has to know

[[M]umma[M]ia]

i would say bub is 1/5th of the way engaged.. thats what i would assume. Engaged meaning into your pelvis. I hope im right....

[Laranna]

I agree with Hollye...I think it means that your one fifth engaged

[jojo80]

That sounds about right 1/5th engaged.

[2CheekyMonkeys]

yep thats what i think it is too.

[SamiH]

I'll give it a go ...

5 stages of descent with 0 equalling engaged.

So 1/5 means 4/5's engaged if you want to look at it that way - know what I mean ...

5
4
3
2
1
0 = engaged ....

Of course I stand to be corrected at any time

[1stimer]

oh i see, i hope your all right

[Chocaholic]

Yep, you are all correct!!

[Alyssas_Mum]

SamiH did a great explanation
You must be waddling like a penguin for sure by now seeing as bubs that low. lol
