The dr told me today I'm 2/5 engaged. Does this mean I won't have contractions til I'm 5/5 engaged? I've been having cramp like pains, and lots of pressure down there.

Also, does this mean DTD won't bring labour closer?

Ta, in advance.

As far as i understand. It's how they measure how far hubs head has descended into the pelvis.
I tried to check, on which way it goes (5/5 being fully engaged, or the opposite of not engaged at all) but now I'm just confused Confused

As far as labour being 'x' amount of time away. I don't think engagement means anything, some people don't engage until they are in labour.

So DTD might still help!! Tongue

2/5 is good- means she can feel 2/5 of the babies head do the other 3/5 are in the pelvis.
I was 2/5 3 weeks ago mind you and I'm still here!
