For me, baby did not engaged at all! i tried natural but in the end c-sect... partly is due to my baby big n i small built... see wat yr gynae advise u!
doink
cannot really feel one. gynae will say. unless is super low liao then will feel pressure on pelvic
charmaine
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

I already feel baby head pressing against my pelvic, nd to go toilet so often that i didn't even dare to drink water at nite. But yst went for check up, my gynea have done a VE check for me, still not ready for birth leh. Sigh...
bbbear
is it always feel pain at the vagina..... my friend says look at stomach can tell... must ask gynae tomorrow.
charmaine
not so much of pain at vagina
but it's more like something is pressing against pelvic and wanting to push the way out

i feel that! i think tatz y itz so near to my old scar, so i tot i felt scar pain...Dr Tham told me itz likely to be ligament strain though...bt ligament strain shud nt be felt even when lying dwn and just tossing about gently right?

aiyo...so scary coz when i go toilet, i can feel baby so low dwn...like almost there at the opening le... biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
~mysterious-m~
gyane will tell u???

cos I also don't knw mine is engaged, but I do feel presure at my pelvic area during last trim...
charmaine
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.
more urge to urinate as well.

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. wow.gif

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... laugh.gif

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.
