Awe bless, yeah she may just find it easier doing it the opposite way but yeah it would mean 2/5ths of head can be felt or so that's what I learnt :) xx

I had a read of my notes last night and spoke to my other half about it, and he said that she said she couldn't feel much of the head left OUT of my pelvis so I'm guessing that if im 2/5 engaged then baby is really low! My student midwife was doing baby's heartbeat at the time so wasn't really listening lol @emmajo xx

@emmy_lou, xx

Hmm maybe she does it that way as she finds it easier to do? I was always told it was 1/5 engaged and 5/5 not engaged as it means how much of the head can be felt.. Yeah may be worth an ask.. Engagement doesn't really matter too much though as most babies don't engage until labour xx

@emmajo, hmm saw my midwife today and she said I was 2/5 - 3/5 because she could still feel most his head about my pelvis 🤔🤔 strange, I'll have to ask her when I see her next time xx

ah good thank u :) yeah he is my second baby. just want some good news as I have 2 weeks left & I'm sooo sore and exhausted now lol xx

he then didn't engage to 1/5 until I actually started labour x

half way there hun ☺ but if it's not your first then they tend to move around anyway. with my second one week he was 2/5 and a few later he was 4/5. x

@xxtxx,

so what does 3/5 mean?x

it works in reverse hun 1/5 being the most engaged they can be x

I don't know lol I think she could of done. I don't see my midwife till the 20th :/. my due date is the 22nd xx

Hmmm maybe she wrote it wrong! But I'm pretty sure the higher the first number, the lower he is! When's your due date? @mummytobex xx

thank you @emmy_lou she told me 3/5 and I said what does that mean and she said he is on his way out but will bob in and out and when I put my hands their I can feel his head down their too. I'm just confused to as why she said 3/5 then put 5/5 in my book 😂 xx
