I'm Currently Feeling:  | 31 week appt ... ENGAGED!!!
hey guys just got back from my31 week appt and the baby's head is engaged .. i looked in my preg bible and it says tht you usually expect your baby between 4-6 weeks after it becomes engaged. i asked m/w and she sed its likely the baby wil be early but she was all smiling and didnt seem worried... has this happened to anyone??? im scared in case he/shecomes early |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hello hun,
I had my 28 week appt on Tues and was told LO is fully engaged! Was a bit worried as I didnt expect it to happen for about another 10 weeks! Mw said to expect LO early but she didnt say how early so im just hoping im prepared!
Im sure you'll be fine hun, just get used to the 'bowling ball between your legs' feeling!

I'm Currently Feeling: | Don't worry-my babe is also engaged and has been for about 3 weeks now. During my last doc's appt. she said that my LO is VERY low and may come early! She said that my babe is so low that I may have a very fast labor! It did freak me out at first but now I find comfort in the fact that my babe/body seems to be doing the right things. I'm trying to find confidence in the fact that nature will do it's thing and I just have to stay calm!
Cheers |
