Engaged?

AyaChan · Feb 9th, 2010, 14:37 PM

How can you tell if the baby's head is engaged, and when do they usually get into that position?

I feel like theres loads more added pressure in the lower part of my stomach and I'm feeling the need to pee constantly, literallly, I went for a pee early, and then about 30 seconds later i had to go again.

So I'm wondering if shes engaged now or just in an awkward position?

She could just be jumping on your bladder, or she could be ducking in and out of your pelvis, I'd think at your stage she's still be small enough that if she engaged she could pop back out easily!

Sounds like she having a good old jump on your bladder. My little one engaged at 34 weeks and you can tell the difference its like having a bowling ball inbetween your legs and you can kinda feel the rolling of her moving x

I think its just pressure of the babies head tilting downwards! I have the same pressure and its especially bad when I stand up, it feels like he's pushing down!
