all the movement I have felt is at the bottom of my tummy, always has been really. Im sure she must have dropped a bit because everytime I move I feel like Im going to wet myself.]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2006 19:38:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50392&title=low-baby#50392 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50390&title=low-baby#50390 Author: Maya

CEPH means Head Down and ROA means she is anterior(spine along your belly) on your right side. Which is all good.

Maya didn't engage until I was well into established labour, she was posterior and had to turn her fat self around before she could get her head down.]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2006 18:43:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50390&title=low-baby#50390 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50350&title=low-baby#50350 Author: Guests

Rhiannon was engaged for from 32 wks and i had her at 38wks, so its swings and roundabouts really, as everybody is different, my first internal was when i actually went into labour, so things here are nothing like you see on tv.

Oh i so remember feeling her bounce everytime i walked, ]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2006 14:54:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50348&title=low-baby#50348 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50287&title=low-baby#50287 Author: baalamb

A friend of my sisters was engaged for near on 4 weeks! Or so she said... I don't know if this is medically possible at all, but it seemed every week she would drop even lower and still went a few days over her due date.]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2006 10:25:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50287&title=low-baby#50287 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50223&title=low-baby#50223 Author: Guests

It's more of an american thing - you hear about loads of internals on US websites. Here they tend to leave all of your girly bits well alone until someone is pushing through from the other side. The down arrow above CEPH means that you are still pretty high. Also, if you can still feel the head then there is a fair bit of engagement to go. She'll bounce up and down a wee bit yet. There is important growing to do...]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2006 20:47:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50180&title=low-baby#50180 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50179&title=low-baby#50179 Author: jax

As far as I'm aware they don't do an internal until you're in labour, unless there is a very good reason otherwise.]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2006 20:44:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50179&title=low-baby#50179 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50142&title=low-baby#50142 Author: fattartsrock

She didnt do an internal but she felt really low and i even felt a clunk when she was feeling babys head, she didnt mention anything i dont think all i have in my preggy journal is:

Under Presn: A down arrow above CEPH
Under Posn: ROA

Anyone got any ideas? I only saw it after she left lol]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2006 18:11:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50130&title=low-baby#50130 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50125&title=low-baby#50125 Author: emeldee

Yep, they can go down and then come up - Andrew went from D2 to not at all engaged and then bck down again over the space of three weeks.

I think they can sit there for ages and even come back up. My friends baby was engaged for about 2 weeks I think from memory.

Check your midwife note thingys and see what she put your number out of 5 as...

I'm pretty sure 5/5 is in labour, so maybe 4/5 is engaged?!?

Where is someone who actually knows about this stuff??]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2006 16:11:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50089&title=low-baby#50089 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2691&PID=50070&title=low-baby#50070 Author: Guests
