Head engagement

Yay on Zyon moving Trace!!! Now just time for him to move out! ;)

okies, so at ANC appt today, found out that it goes 5/5.......1/5 being fully engaged...

I am now 3/5 so half way! joy.

lol

Lets hope so Linda.. although she said prepare for another 41weeker! As both girls were 41wkers!!!

See Nicky they all do it differently hey!

good job nicki,

I am also 3/5 although they had a little trouble finding the little fellas neck. It hurt me, so hopefully they didn't stress him out too much. he hates being proded, and goes all quite. kicking away again now.

If your engagement is the same as mine, maybe you will still be around in a few weeks!! I'm not due until the 27th

Hey there ...
This may be a really dumb question, but those numbers you are using 5/5 etc ... who is measuring you and when? I am 33w and have never been given any numbers ... should I have?
If you are 5cm above engagement does that give some indication of DD or something? Why do we get this info?

Thanks!

Nox it's probably still to early to measure esp if it's your first!

Your Ob, or midwife will measure when working out if baby is head down or not, maybe the next appt or 2!

Nope it bears nothing on your due date!!!

Thanks Tracey. My Ob has told me at my last app that bubs is head down and I was able to squish around and feel the head (a bit eeewwww!). Does that mean that once bubs is head down unlikely to move upright again?
It is my first I know I sound v keen for it to move along!

nox- bubs head can move up and down a bit before becoming fully engaged.. i know i went form 3/5 to 2/5 to 4/5 to 3/5 to fully engaged.. its hard not to get excited tho babe...
i could hear your excitement in your post.... good luck with everything

Nox, bubs can bounce aroubnd in that region for a while & some do rotate back around..... to head up... but you just never know....

As the others said they do move, but every appointment I've had since they started checking he's been head down.

I swear in between visits he's been doing circle work though, lol

Yeah totally believe that this little one is an acrobat -- especially right now! I feel a constant pressure low though and sometimes a sharp pain and even feels heavy underneath when I sit down, which is freaky. it is funny adn hard to even sit because there is just so much in the way!
My next app w ob is on Monday so I will see if the bub has moved around then and ask about these crazy numbers -- I want one too!! haha
