It was at about 32 weeks, and DS was born at 40+2 Grin
Am 30w now and expecting DS2 to be there soon...

With all three pregnancies, about 4/5 weeks before birth.

DC1: can't remember exactly but head engaged weeks before my due date. At least 38 weeks but I think it was a lot sooner than that. He was born at 41 weeks.

DC2: didn't engage until I was in labour. She was born at 39 weeks!

DD, 31 weeks, born 8 weeks later.

DS, never, even after 38hrs of labour.

During labour (I assume) - never engaged beforehand!

my daughter was just on the brim at 38 weeks so not officially engadged then I had her at 39 weeks so I dont think being engadged or not means labour will come any earlier or later.
