maybe for me twice it's pretty low and pressing so i can feel the pressure.
but the routine scan will be able to tell if baby engaged.
mine engaged abt week 30, tomolo gng to see if he is breech again or remains

Clarified with Chris Chong that engaged means that head has passed through the pelvic bone and ready for delivery.
experienced gynae will noe by touching ur tummy and thru scan
charmaine

think what we all felt is the head down position of our babies.

LOL what a description - pelvic falling off
for me it is more of the pressure on the pelvic area.

sure!will give u updated news! hehe...
im waiting for my next appt too! so close le..3more days to appt and less than 2weeks to delivery.
anyway, im just curious...coz for Jade, she was breech so din engage, i wun be surprised if Jude doesnt engage even at the last min too...at least it gives me a peace of mind that im still opting for c-section...if nt, i duno when he'd engage,probably end up overdue and c-section too...

i got the ligament strain and the pelvic area feels like its dislocating itself from my body.. but the need to pee is only irritating in the middle of the night. mostly when i'm working i forget that i have the urge to pee. somehow its bearable in the daytime.
