Baby’s head not engaged at 39th week day 2

Hi Mummies, I am 39 weeks 2 days pregnant today and went for my scan. The doctor said that baby’s head is still not engaged. Any suggestions on what can I do to engage baby’s head ? Anyone who experienced this? Will this harm the baby in any way ? #advicepls #firstbaby

When the time is ready baby's head will be engaged at your birth canal. For me, I didn't do anything for both kids, it was naturally engaged within a week and both I am 3cm dilate. It will not harm the baby at all. Just do more walks, squats and don't stress. Body will let you know when time is ready. First child I give birth at 41 weeks, 1 day and second child 40 weeks, 2 day. So, just cross finger within this 1 week baby's head engaged soon.
