Woo hoo! Baby's head is engaged :)

This weekend I had tons of contractions and lots of pressure really low.  OB said today that the head is now engaged, that's what I was feeling

I know it could still be forever... but at least something is happening given all the contractions I am having.

Humor me if you will... how long from head engaged to labor for you (if you knew when the head was engaged)?

*stupid question* does that mean there's no chance of him turning?

Wow!  You're going to be a family of four so soon!  Best of luck.

I'm not sure, but I would guess it would be very unlikely that he would turn at this point.  Engaged means station 0 (I just found that out via google

Yay!! I?can't believe it's already time! ?I rarely bump anymore, but I remember when you found out you were having #2 a few weeks after I did ?GL! Sorry, no help with the question, I had to be induced both times.?

Yay congrats, I bet that little boy will be here sometime this week.

Yeah! Almost there! Ds was "right there" from about 36 weeks until 40 wks 1 day, but he was my first so I bet yours comes a lot faster! Gl

My kiddos engaged anywhere from 33-35 weeks, and then didn't have them for a few weeks. I hope it's quicker for you! Is the pressure on your cervix increasing the frequency or intensity of your contractions?

oh wow! very cool!

When do they start checking you/doing internals at your appts?

Both of my girls were at station 0 & fully engaged from 35 weeks on. DD was induced at 40 weeks & #2 came at 38 weeks. I was running 5 days a week with both & still went to term. Exciting though!

DS2 wasn't engaged at my 38 wk 2 day appt; he was still -2.   However he came three days later...
