34 weeks and 4/5 to the brim...?

I'm 34+1 today and I've just been to my midwife who said I'm 4/5 to the brim engaged. This is my first baby so really I just want to know....is this something to get excited about even a small amount??

  • I never heard of that term before.  What does it mean?

  • Just how much head is still felt by the midwife so 4/5 can still be felt 1/5 is engaged. I got a bit excited at the idea of it, I just don't want to run with it getting too excited haha
  • Not really most ftm will engage heads shortly. And they measure it in fifths. Unfortunately it does not mean bump will arrive any sooner :( just that he/she is in the correct position
  • Oh well still something to be excited about him being in the right position
