Baby's Engaged

[MummyNaomi]

I had an OB appt today and my lovely OB advised that the baby has engaged and its unlikely I'd make it all the way to my due date (May 18) - am currently 35w1d

Curious as to how long others have gone once baby is engaged - eg when was bubs born?

From what I understand baby can engage weeks before labour - so hoping bubs stays put for a while yet - anyone else been at this point or earlier and when was bubs born compared to when they engaged

Apparantly first Babies engage earlier?

My DS#2 was engaged at 36 weeks and I was told he'd probably come early too. He arrived at 40+5 weeks! So it doesn't necessarily mean he'll come early, but at least he is out from under your ribs LOL!

My bub was engaged from my 35w appt (think it was 35w3d) and arrived at 38w exactly so could be a few weeks yet! Hope your little one stays put a bit longer

i'm in a similar position at 33 +2 - Ob didn't seem bothered at all by it.

was talking to a friend the other day who was engaged from 32 weeks (ish) and her DD was 11 days late.

i think first babies just tend to (from what i've read) engage a bit earlier. i'm not whinging - this kid is VERY active and having the pressure OFF my ribs isn't a bad thing!

Angie engaged at about 36wks, didnt grace us with her presence until 42 weeks.
