38+4, baby not engaged at all yet
Title says it. My first was at least somewhat engaged from around 37 weeks, born at 41+5 (never went past 2cm dilated, failed induction, c-section).
I'm hoping for a VBAC this time but I'm a little concerned that little boy isn't at all engaged yet. I know it can happen later with 2nd babies but at the same time, given my previous labour never progressed much I half-expected this to be similar to it being more like a first pregnancy...
If you had a VBAC, how early (or how late) did your baby engage?
My doula worked with a mom who really inspired me. Her baby didn’t engage in the pelvis until during active labor. It was a smooth VBAC and a relatively short labor. Here is the story if you’re interested in hearing about it. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5gvgrXZ6vO7apPmYgLq9Ej?si=-qWO6-1aQHq3QN1eK_wyBA
