Mine hadn't engaged at my last appointment at 38 weeks (I'm 39 + 5 today). He's been posterior (ROP) for some time now and seems to like it that way. But today I started getting those lovely shooting pains in the top of the cervix that is supposed to be a sign of engaging or of softening/ripening of the cervix.

I guess I'll find out at my appt tomorrow whether he has actually engaged or otherwise looks like making his way into the world soon. But sometimes first babies don't engage until labour, although apparently this is more common with second babies.

Good luck Shell Belle!
