Baby Is Engaged - How long til Labour Approaches?

[~Trish~]

Yeah, sadly there is no way of knowing when your bub will arrived based on them being engaged. My DS2 engaged at 36 weeks (I felt it happen, ouch!) and he was born at 40+5 weeks. I was uncomfortable for a VERY long time LOL!

I used a heat pack a lot which helped with the discomfort. Hopefully your bub is not too far away

My baby engaged at 37wks, then unengaged, then engaged.....he was born at 40+3. I also had prelabour for about 2 weeks too....so it could be a while yet! But it could be soon too. Everyone's body is different. I hope it's sooner rather than later for you though, good luck.

Nina started engaging at 32 weeks, born at 37+5 weeks.
Emily started engaging at 36 weeks, born at 40 weeks.

Hopefully it won't be too far off, but it may be still. Good luck with the impending labour.

1ST babies normally do engage prior to labour...subsequent bsbies are more often known to become engaged during labour....your in the home stretch now, and bubs is doing exactly wot its supposed to.....
Positive thoughts and being well rested (i.e not stressed, tired, rundown) are good preps 4 labour....4 me anyway.

GL...
