Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I was told the baby was 3/5 or 4/5 engaged, for weeks, was even told - this baby is coming soon - I went over and had to be induced!

Engagement does not predict impending labour!

Anyway, at this point you would not be early anyway - normal pregnancy is anything from 38 to 42 weeks.

You'll just have to wait and see !

Good luck

Oh no im so excited now that it could be any day. DD1 was born on due date which i was told there is only 5% of babies born on due date. I am feeling slight movement in groin and pelvis opening also a bit of pain like something is about to pop.

Never had any indication with dd thought i would go over but waters broke and it was first thing i knew of baby being on way
