Baby’s head engagement

I’m currently at my 38th week and my gynae told me that my baby’s head has not engaged yet. This is my first pregnancy. Anyone has experience on this? Did your baby’s head engage later on or did you end up having a C-section? Is there anything I can do to encourage baby’s head engagement to the pelvis? Thank you!

Is your baby is breach position or has turned but not engaged? If you’re baby is in breached position at 38 weeks, there’s little time and room for it to move. Otherwise, you can talk to the baby and encourage him/him to engage so that he can come and see you soon. Good luck

Mine wasn’t engaged even at w38. I don’t rem if it was engaged or that I was just dilated n then I delivered on w39. So don’t worry too much. Walk or go to the pool to do aqua stretches
