3rd preg and head engaged at 36 wks

[ki28]

Hi guys, as above baby down 3/5 and been having braxton hicks. Any one think i may go soon, other two preg i went 2 wks early with no warning and straoght into full blown labour! This time is the first time i have ever had braxton hicks or the lower pack pain. Just askin as parnter is ment to be away working next week and crnt decide if he should stay put???

I'm in the same boat but when I saw MW today she didn't think labour was going to be any earlier than last time.

A friend just had her fourth baby 12 days LATE after being engaged since 36 weeks!

after first baby Engagement doesn't really mean anyrthing baby can bob in and out!

My 2nd and 4th babies were both fully engaged by 37 weeks, both went 4 days over.

I'm 38+5 with DC4 and babe has been 2/5 engaged for nearly 3 weeks and I have been having very strong BHs and backache. I don't think anybody could predict when these babies intend on coming out!! It's all just a waiting game. Good luck

My dd engaged at 31 weeks. Born 8 uncomfortable weeks later.

Means v little.

But in terms of partner going away, if there's a chance that he doesn't have to go then I'd take it. Because who knows when you might go into labour.
