Basically just wondering what kind of things to look out for?I think he's engaged quite far down... I'm 30+5. With DS2, I know its early but I think he is, I have already had many symptoms that labour may be nearby.

I knew when ds engaged as it felt like I had a bowling ball between my legs and I had lots of sharp pains down the inside of my thighs (he was pressing on nerves apparently). Loads of people commented that my bump looked lower too. I'm now almost 34 weeks with dc2 and feeling pressure in the fanjo area so I suspect baby may be starting to engage, seeing mw today so will find out for sure!

Well baby not engaged and mw thinks she may be breech so thats disproved my theory! I hope you got on ok confuzed Smile

Well he's brim, she said he's starting to engage. My mw is not very informative!I had to have a growth scan last week, I think she wants another because I'm measuring small.
