2/5 at 40 weeks

in 3rd Trimester
hello all, this may sound very naive of me so apologies in advance.
I recently took a trip to the hospital and on my return I was reading my notes to find it said I was 2/5 engaged?
This is my second baby so I was just wondering if anybody could shed some light on this for me please as to what it means?
I am 40 weeks booked in for a stretch and sweep in 3 days also.

Thanks in advance x

    Meaning 2/5 of your babies head is palable outside of your pelvis, it will go to 1/5 then 0 meaning the babies head is entirely engaged in your pelvis. Bear in mind that this doesnt have any indication of when labour will be as many people can be engaged for weeks before birth. Hope this helps x
