Yes but she hasn't been fully engaged, and not was I. It doesn't mean she's going to be late though.

They can't move once they're head is locked in that's why it's called locked!!

They can go down and back up many times before they come out. My son was head down and partially enagaged at 30w, then my 37w check he was back up and kicking about. Dr told me I would most likely go over by two weeks. I gave birth 4 days later !

Yeah im dilated but not much it's sore when they're engaged because the head is pretty much just before the crowning point i wouldn't say sore really just uncomfortable hunnie like in the groin area and hips and private parts kinda swell that's when you know the heads locked and no one the head is locked its locked there's no way they can move back from that x

No hunnie it means she's getting into position to lock her head down my baby has been head down since 19+4 im now 37 weeks and her head is engaged meaning she's locked her head in and preparing to come down as soon as you're baby locks their head you'll know by the amount of pain and pressure it's really sore to walk x
