A few weeks ago I had a mum whose baby was floating at her 40 week appointment - she went into labour the next day and had a normal birth. It was her first baby.

I can tell you numerous stories about women I've supported who have been in this situation... some even with unengaged babies at 41-42 + weeks. Your gut instinct is right - some babies don't engage until labour and that is normal.

Trust your body. It's brought your baby this far, and it knows how to finish the job
