3/5 engaged with number two

[lucy1978]

hello everyone, just wondering really, but seen midwife today who told me baby is 3/5 engaged. this is baby no. 2. i am 36 +5 days pregnant. how long has it been before others have gone into labour? really hoping it will be soon!

Hiya, I've been 3/5 engaged for three weeks - now 39+2, but it's my first baby, and I know they do tend to engage earlier than subsequent ones i.e. second babies engage closer to onset of labour - so maybe soon? Good luck!

I was 3/5 engaged with my second from around 30 weeks and gave birth at 39+4 they can be engaged for a long time.
