Baby engaged with six weeks to go?

[MummaSue]

From what I understand, babies can engage and then float back too, so just because she is engaged just now doesn't mean that is where baby will stay.

Yeah, babies seem to do whatever they please, one minute they are down, and in the righ spot, the next they are back up under your ribs and doing sommersaults leaving you all bruised feeling 'cause there isn't enough room left.

I wish mine would get down and engage!

Sounds normal to me. I was like that with my first and he was born about a week before due date, which isn't really early given that due dates are estimates anyway. I wouldn't stress over it. This time we still have 6 weeks to go and the bub is 2/5 down already which I thought was unusual for a second, but mw says all is fine and it might change its mind and pop back up yet... so it seems they do whatever til the day they decide to arrive or are helped to do so.

First babies tend to engage early. Subsequent babies engage later and later. I am currently 36 weeks, and baby is not quite engaged yet. I think he is leaving it til the last minute!
