36 week appt


Just got back from MW. My blood pressure is exactly the same as yesterday and back to normal so no problems there, urine normal and am measuring 37wks. Had blood taken to test iron levels as well.

Baby's head is definitely engaged!!!

Now that the head is engaged does this mean it could all happen a bit earlier?

Sorry don't know much about the latter part of pregnancy, but glad your appointment went well and your blood pressure was back to normal!

glad your appointment went well, i think it depends how far engaged they are, i went today and was told babies head is 4/5 engaged but thats nothing really. i think its a good sign if baby is engaged but not to sure it necessarily means you will go into labour any earlier, not sure though??

Yay glad to hear your BP went down and that your appointment went well

As for being engaged, it doesn't necessarily mean you will go into labor earlier. You could make it to 40 weeks like that but it will help with getting your cervix to dilate and efface as the baby's head is putting pressure on it.

My LO has been engaged for awhile (dunno how much though) and I'm still 3-4 cms dilated lol and you would think I'd go into labor any day now but its been 2 weeks since my hospital trip. The waiting game definitely sucks
