    i would say bub is 1/5th of the way engaged.. thats what i would assume. Engaged meaning into your pelvis. I hope im right....

    I agree with Hollye...I think it means that your one fifth engaged

    I'll give it a go ...

    5 stages of descent with 0 equalling engaged.

    So 1/5 means 4/5's engaged if you want to look at it that way - know what I mean ...

    0 = engaged ....

    Of course I stand to be corrected at any time
