Midwife apps closer to the end of pregnancy!

Hey girlie's, it may be simple. But what does it mean on your notes when babys observations are 3/5 engagement?? Were a few days of 33 weeks🌈

My midwife said this. It’s to do with where the babies head is in the pelvis I think x

@Vicky I thought they're not engaged til later on in pregancy🤷🏼‍♀️ x

My baby is currently 3/5 engaged. I’ve ready that if it’s your first bubba then it could be a few weeks until labour starts x

@Phoebe oh okay, see the doctor at the hospital after my 32 week apt did mention about possibly intervention between 36&38 weeks but they said because she was smaller then they'd like🤔 Nit even in the slightest bit ready!! So I suppose best start just incase😆🥰x

@Emily I totally understand 🥰 At least bubba is getting ready 😂 x

I'd rather her not jus yet😆 she's like her dad already then always early/rushing me around🤣x

@Emily haha I know the feeling. I’d rather her be here now. With the way mine is growing, she’ll be huge by the time I reach 37 weeks 🙈 x

@Phoebe is she your first? how big is she x

Yeah she’s my first. I’m 35+1 and 1 week ago she was 6lb 6oz which is big tummy 😂 x

It's how palpable baby's head is below your pelvis, so 3/5 would mean the widest part has moved down, 0/5 is basically fully engaged. If its your first baby they can start engaging weeks beforehand. Subsequent babies often don't engage until labour.
