MW said that she cuold only feel 2/5 of baby head so the 3/5 are in pelvis.. do they go any more? Been having lots of pains and regular.. trying not to get hopes up this is it but this has been really consistent now.

fully engaged is when the baby can't his head get back out again!

just to add......some babies don't engage at all until well into the birth process. Some stay up high until full dilation. head engagement is not necessarily a sign of things to come quickly/not quickly.

it is almost there... fully engaged is the head on the pelvic floor! i know oyu have been there before with the regular pains, but things are obviously heading in the right direction, how many weeks are you now>
