relation to brim????????????

Does any one know what it means?
in the notes it says
RELATION TO BRIM IS AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH OF THE PRESENTING PART IS ENTERING THE PELVIS.

On my notes it says 4/5 and since i have been in and out of hospital its gone from 1-5.

Does anyone know what it means is my babys head engaged?
thanks emma 35+5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • I think that would mean its only actually 1/5 engaged as thats what I was when my MW wrote 4/5 and now baby is 3/5 engaged she has written 2/5.

    Hope this helps....

  • Yeah - it sounds like 1/5 of your babies head is inside the pelvis - technically they are not 'engaged' until 3/5 is inside (so 2/5 palpable) but it's a good sign - and baby is definately getting into position.

    Good luck!
