I'm 32wks with baby number two and was told yesterday that she's engaged already. MW was very non-committal when I asked if that means she'll be early so thought I'd ask you lovely ladies for some real life experiences!

DS2 engaged at about 6 months and he was a week late! I was sure he'd be early.
