Does this mean the baby will be early?

[MrsVidic]

Hi, I'm 31+1 with dd2. I went 8 days over with dd1- normal quick delivery. Today saw Mw who measured me (I'm measuring 29 weeks) and said baby is head down engaged, l shape? 4/5
She then said I should get childcare organised- is this all just in case or is there a high probability I'll be early? She hasn't organised and extra appointments and I'm seeing her again in 3 weeks.

I was told that with second pregnancies that babies can engage and then bob back out again!! although I could be wrong. My first baby was engaged at about 32 weeks but I still went 3 days over.

Twin 1 was engaged at 29 weeks and stayed there until I had them at 36 weeks!!! And he was so far engaged they had to deliver him backwards in surgery - he was very ready to come out lol. That was my 3rd pregnancy.

Thanks for the replies- I think I should have at least a month left as I don't feel half as ready as last time! It has given me a kick up the arse to sort out my baby stuff though!

My second engaged very early and stayed there till birth, think she was about 29 weeks. She was delivered 40+7, two days later than my first!!! This time, my little one (I'm 30 weeks) engaged at 27 weeks and has been there ever since! I think as your pregnancies go on, your muscles get weaker, hence they fall into place a little earlier! I think!

My Mw said they engage later with each preg?
