So as most of you would know im NOT pregnant lol but my sister is and her last midwife appointment they told her she is 4/5ths engaged, does this mean her bub is almost engaged and ready to enter this world????
Yes i have had 2 children but i never got told numbers like this i was just told 'hes starting to engage' or 'he is head down really really low' so having numbers is abit confusing to me
Plus im asking this purely because i have a 4 hour drive ahead of me to be down there for when she has her bub to meet my little niece/nephew!!!
the scale goes from 5/5ths which is right out to i guess 0/5ths which is right in....so 4/5th is still out and floating about, which is where im at, floating around between 5/5th and 4/5ths, unfortunatly not in and ready to go....as im 2 weeks over
i got told i was 4/5ths a week before i had dd and they tol dme that means that her head is descending into my pelvic area..???
im pretty sure that means she is close to being fully engaged
yep i thought it meant fully engaged too, but i wasnt 100% pos which is hence this thread but after beckoes saying no i thought id check with a midwife and it means almost fully engaged!!!!!
ARGH **** she better hold that baby till i get there lol
You sound so excited... i remember i actually posted a thread asking what it meant also 4/5th's but i cant find it right now lol
yeyyyy your going to have a new neice/nephew
xoxox
I believe it means that the head can still be moved from side to side but is low in the pelvis, my little man is at 3/5 and man is that uncomfortable (and it hasn't eased the heart burn yet) I feel like I have to roll my pelvis to lean forward.
How exciting for you... I hope you get to meet your niece/nephew soon (head doesn't have to be engaged to go into labour)
i actually asked at the MW appointment today casue i wasnt 100% sure after posting this she said its the degree that the head is inside the pelvic space. Baby was 3/5ths today, at 4/5ths yesterday the MW could move the head from side to side, today she couldnt.
i always thought with the first baby, you could be engaged for weeks? i know with DD, i was engaged with her for 2 weeks. that was tough! so i don't think it necessarily means bubs might come anytime soon, but i guess it depends on how far your sis is....being first bub, hopefully she doesn't go early and waits until you get down there next week before labour starts
