Head engaged at 30 weeks

[marne]

Hi,
I have just joined and hoping for any advice.
i am 30 weeks pregnant and had to go into hospital 2 days ago due to bleeding.
Everything is ok with the baby but i was surprised when one of the doctors was sure the head was engaged.
So surprised that i forgot to ask if this was normal and does it mean baby could arrive early?

Any help greatly appreciated

I remember asking the midwife if it was a sign things could happen early as with DS2 his head was engaged much earlier than usual, can't remember how early but probably around 30-33 weeks.

She said No and he was 6 days late in the end!

OOOPS.....Forgot to welcome you and warn about Mumsnet addiction

Ds1 head was engaged at 27 weeks, but didn't make an appearance until 38 weeks.

Both mine had heads engaged at about 30-31 weeks, but were both about 2 weeks late.

Same as musica. Kept popping in and out too!
