Hi, me and the Mrs had a midwife appointment today, she rote down on our notes that our daughter is 2/5ths engaged. What does that mean exactly, does anyone know??
It will mean that she could feel 2/5 of your baby's head so 3/5 has dropped down into your wife's pelvis. It's a good thing, your baby is getting ready to be born! xx
It doesn't really give any indication of when baby could come, but it means your baby is getting into the right position which is good! My baby has been fully engaged for over 2 weeks now but no signs of him coming yet (due tomorrow) whereas some babies don't engage at all until labour has started xx
