I'm 37 weeks pregnant with dc2 and was told by a midwife last week (at 36+2) that the baby's head was already 2/5 engaged.
In my pregnancy book it says that this is usual for first time mums but that in subsequent pregnancies the head often doesn't engage until labour begins.
So, does this mean that baby might come before due date? Or did other people have dc2's head engage early and then go overdue?
