Mine still hasn't but this is baby 6 so hoping she does as I won't be able to have a sweep on the 22nd

At my midwife's appointment last week, when I was 39 weeks pregnant, my baby hadn't engaged and it's my first. I think it may have engaged now as it doesn't move about as much, I just feel its limbs moving.

I had an appointment last Friday (36+3) and they told me that baby was engaged This is my first

Of course that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it still got my hopes up

Thanks girls. I read somewhere its about 36 weeks with first one. Guess it varies. Wonder if the pubic bone hurts more when the baby engages, I have a lot of pain there right now so I hope not. xx

My son never engaged until labour.

mine engaged at 26 weeks believe it or not!! and it hurt like hell, it hurt to walk upright!! i had to get my dr. to confirm that was her head down there

 

[mummymarsh]

i was told thhat especially with first babies, they may not engage until labour begins and if they do engage before they can always pop back out again.... xxx

i've been 3/5ths engaged since 37 weeks, since about 36 and a half weeks i've felt uncomfortable in the pelvic area, so i've assumed thats why?

Baby has been head down since 28 weeks and over the past week been feeling quite a bit of pressure down there...midwife today said she was 4/5ths palpable so just on the brim. Not entirely expecting her to stay there or move any further for a while though!
