Engaged baby - Stupid question

[CupcakesHay]

Maybe a stupid question - once your baby is fully engaged, does it stop moving around at the top of your body - ie. will his legs stay in the same position? or will he keep moving them from the right of my body by my ribs, to the left and then my back, etc?

(spot the uncomfortable 37+5 pregnant girl who can't sleep!)

Oh my god, that could be me talking! :o

My baby (#3) has been madly active all the way through. I am 36 weeks and she is still up in my ribs and giving me heartburn/acid indigestion etc. I think she will suddenly 'plop down' If i sit cross legged i feel pressure down below a bit, so maybe it's alot to do with posture? My posture is awful. Have you been going much yoga, activities, breathing etc?

I think this baby is just going up and down as she pleases! She has to come out eventualy tho lol.

Mine moved about all over the shop until I gave birth, pretty much, head was engaged from about 38 weeks :)

mine never stopped moving in my tummy any way until he was actually in my arms - he even kicked his legs on the way out.

most babies will still be able to flip from one side to the other even when they are engaged..

Great - i was getting a bit worried. it feels like his head is in right place, but like i said he just keeps moving - but he does have long legs - well - according to measurements - so maybe he's running out of room!

I'd guess that long legs are a good sign! My son was 9lb8oz and was HELL to push out as he was 'all head'. He is 7 and his head is stil huge now lol-he was forceips delivery. My daughter was 9lb11oz, but easier as she was long. She is now just 6 and tall, blonde and very gorgeous, her legs make her a size age8-9 in jeans!

What i mean is (hopefully, for you) long legs=less head! :)

Are you getting nervous? I have exactly 4 weeks left and have suddenly started to panic, especially as we are moving anytime in the next 6 weeks!

Good luck!
