    Engaging?

    DD was engaged from a few weeks before her due date and despite her being my first my OB said she would be surprised if I went beyond my due date.... Then she was a week late!

    Thanks Hestia, I am hoping bubs stays happily engaged for another 2.5 weeks at least.

    Thanks Ladylove, My DD1 was engaged just before 40wks but arrived at 41wks. DD2 not till labour and I was expecting that again I guess.

    I know everyone, every pregnancy and every baby is different. Just trying to get my head around the possibility of an early arrival after two 41 weekers.

    It's amazing how different they are, my first didn't engage at all, not until my waters broke while I was in labour!

    My doc told me 2 days back that the baby is presenting, or moving towards the pelvic cavity and is 2/5ths in! I'm so relieved I can breathe better now!
