Engaged - How long now??

[Kirks 4]

I'm 34/35 weeks, 4th pregnancy, 4th c-section. Found out at check up that baby has engaged. Does anyone know if that means the baby is coming within the next couple of weeks or will I make it to the booked in date at the end of my 39th week??

Sorry hum, just because your baby is engaged does not mean that it will come early

Yep, Alan is correct, it doesn't mean bub will come early. All my babies have engaged early, the last two engaged between 34-36 weeks. DS was 5 days overdue and DD was born on/around her EDD.
