Doesn't that mean 4/5 palpable, so only 1/5 engaged.

I think it means 1/5 engaged, as Chub said, and that means 4/5 of the head is free. If its your first, don't worry, my DD was only this 1wk before she was born, and if its your second or more, don't worry, I believe they often don't engage until the last minute... Grin

yes it means they can feel 4/5 of the head so only 1/5 engaged :)

and what chunky said, second or subsequent babies often dont engage until you are in labour it doesnt mean anything, all 5 of mine DID engage weeks before my due date (i am small, they were big they had to space wise!) i still went 2 wks overdue with all of them!
