That's about it really! I'm waddling about and every thing is uncomfortable.I'm 39 weeks pregnant with second child.
Wondered if any one had any magic way of telling!

Thanks

ime you can suddenly a) breathe and b) eat more than half a sandwich but have teeny bladder capacity and cannot sit down.

Im 36 weeks and babies head is engaged, this time around i actually look bigger down below sort of bulbos and feel alot of movement in groin were head is twisting around.

mmmh I cant breath all that well but that's due to a chest infection! I do need to pee all the time! And can feel movement low down maybe it is engaged! Due in a few days so time will tell!

does it feel like it's wedged between your thighs?

mine all engagged freakishly early and it honestly felt like they were hanging out!

with DS1 when he wasn't yet engaged, just at the 'brim' my MW showed me what to feel... If you lie down with your knees bent, breath in, put your hands right at bottom of bump and push in there as you breath out... You should feel either side of the head, if you can wiggle it slightly (gently) then it's not engaged, if you can't then it's engaged... If that makes sense?!

Thanks I tried it! Think head is engaged. Wish baby would make a move out into the world now!
