    Hey SammyRo, did the midwife say how far engaged you were? I'm only 31 weeks and saw my OB yesterday, he wrote in my antenatal card that I'm 3/5's engaged. I'm not really sure what that means though? Is it a lot for 31 weeks? Good luck with everything!

    Or maybe you could tell me, Alan? I also have a didelphys uterus, been told I could go into early labour as there isn't as much room in my uterus for the baby to go full-term.

    Hi Erin
    Babies can engage at anytime during your pregnancy, unfortunately they can also disengage. For some women their baby did not engage until they went into labour. Your doctor writing 3/5th engaged means that 3/5 of your baby’s head is below your pelvic brim. (quite well engaged).

    Thanks Alan! Yes, the OB said the head was well down, but he didn't express any concern or surprise over it, so I figured it was okay! Thanks for the reply.
