Hi! First time mum here so a bit clueless. Currently 31 weeks pregnant and midwife has confirmed babies head is 4/5 engaged.
does this mean anything regarding when baby might come? He is also measuring 90th percentile

I was 4/5 engaged at 34 weeks, then not engaged at 36 weeks...currently 39+6 and still very much pregnant 😅

According to the NHS 31 weeks pregnant page, it's totally normal for babies to engage at 31 weeks. So you've probably got approx 6-11 weeks to go

I think 4/5 engaged isn't very engaged and it's common for babies to go between being not engaged and 4/5. 1/5 is deeply engaged.
I understand that it has no bearing on when baby will come though. Some don't engage at all until they're in labour.
