Hi all midwives, perhaps one of you is around and can answer a query of a friend of mine.
Her baby is due in 3 weeks time and the head has not yet engaged, so they are talking about doing a caesarean.
I was a little startled by this, as I thought 3 weeks was still plenty of time to go for the baby to engage, and she's very upset about it and doesn't want a caesarean unless it's a medical necessity.
Are they worrying her unduly? Should the head have engaged by now? (I can't remember!)
