Question - Babys head engaged?

Is there any way I can tell if baby's head has engaged? I've got a ob/doc's appointment tomorrow so I guess he'll let me know then but I thought maybe you ladies might have some ideas.

At my last week's midwife appointment she said the head wasn't engaged, but since the appointment, actually probably only since the weekend, I've had increasing pressure down there and it's very uncomfortable to walk! I never had a waddle until now hehe. I don't think I have dropped overly much but feeling very heavy out the front.

Thanks

ha ha Becca - I will remember that!

There's no such thing as a "sure bet" when it comes to childbirth... it is most likely that you will have a vaginal birth if Baby's head is engaged (and stays put!) but not guarenteed.

Not trying to scare anyone, but there are a number of different reasons people end up needing c-sections. The most common seems to be that the natural labour is not progressing or is taking too long and Baby becomes distressed. Another could be that Baby gets stuck, or is not quite in the right position (eg: an arm in front of their face) so will become stuck.
