How long do you think???

Question

well i had a doc app today, she said i am 0/5 engaged (fully engaged) and she cant see me making it till my due date. ive had braxton hicks everyday for the past few weeks and when i sit down i feel like i can feel the babys head there is so much pressure. my question is this is my third pregnancy and ive been told that in second or third pregnancies you dont engage untill labour has begun, does this mean im close like in the next few days. im 38wks and 4days thanks in advance

Answer 1

You may have the baby soon, but it may also be a couple weeks or more.  It's not a guarantee.  Baby will come soon enough!

Answer 2

sounds like you're getting close! i'd say mabye within the next week you'll have your baby!

i lost my mucus plug a week ago, i've been dilated to 2cm for two weeks, the baby has been at 0 station for a week, and i'm not due for another two weeks. it's just all a big waiting game at this point!

congrats and good luck!

Answer 3

38 Weeks is still considered full term so even if you have the baby in the next few days it will be healthy. As far as when, who knows... Some women stay dilated for a few weeks before they give birth and some go right away.  Just make sure that you are ready to go to the hospital at any time.

Answer 4

i know i am 36 weeks and i am already fully efaced(sp?) and i am 1 cm(or a little less) dialated. i have been like this for about 2 weeks. i have been having the same symptoms ur describing. yes ur close! just make sure you have everything ready to go! i cant wait for mine!
