went for a 34 wk check up this week and i was surprised when the midwife told me its head is 3/5 free meaning 2/5 are in, when 3/5 are in they class it as engaged!!
i was sooooo surprised as i dint think this happened yet and its got me so excited now!!

is any one else the same??

i wonder if it will be arriving early or is this just the norm. ? m/w said at 36 weeks they expect first time mums to be engaged and im nearly there at 34!!

gosh im excited!!!!!

hope u all ok

hi there!
i was told the same at my 34 week appointment, i got so excited thinking i might be a little early or on time but having looked about online i dont think it really means much - doh!
however, its got to be better than nothing hasnt it?!?! heres hoping! x x

oh bugger lol!! oh well at least its heading in the right direction??
is there any chance now that it can 'come back out' so to speak or once its going in thats it, i would really prefer a natural birth

How exciting! mine has just been getting into strange positions!hoping for more progress at 36 week appointment next week.am going to spend some time on my birth ball to encourage her to stay down!!

I had my 34 week check on thurs, and i was told pretty much the same thing. Doc said is getting ready aaarrrgghhhh!! I was quite shocked as he was transverse last time!

i think with your first that once the heads in place it stays there, however with subsequent pregnancies i think its all a bit looser down there so baby can pop in and out of position!
lovely! lol! x x

i had my 31 week check up and my babies head is just free grrr oh well i guess she isnt ready to start getting into position yet!! at least she is head down! xx

mine was still free at 32 wkks then at 34 its was 3/5 so i dont think it takes long
