Journey it's not necessarily a problem if your little one isn't engaged, my first two never did before birth.
I saw a couple of days ago in ds2's birth report that when I went in at 8 am I was dilated 3 cm, he was still all high!
He was born 5 hours later! It doesn't have to mean anything.
I think on spinningbabies.com there is some advice and exercizes.
I've just been reading things on spinningbabies but it doesnt always make sense. Other forums just say, walk, bounce the ball and all fours.. I'm spending about an hour or so on the ball each day but it makes my lower back hurt more :/ .. All fours is when we dtd ;) and the walking well... Thats something Ill have to find the motivation to do lol.Quote:

journey, my youngest son was still high the day he was born. a week over due.
i was 4-5 cm dilated , and he was still high up, they broke my waters to get labour started, and as she broke it she pushed down on the top of my belly and forced out heaps of fluid, forcing him to drop down.
indira, dont tease us like that...lol...
i got all excited when i seen the first paragraph...lol
Ah good to know Dannikins! I've heard this from quite a few people now. Good to hear there's no stress and it doesn't mean won't come on time.
Update - I've had my midwife appointment everything is on my blog link below - Looks like I'll be meeting this baby boy sooner than I thought :) Exciting stuff!
Oh yay journey sounds good! I wonder why she doesn't like to do sweeps :S
And interesting on the 'oil' front! :) looks like baby will be evicted soon lol
I'm not to sure what this Oil could even be other than castor oil which she said it wasn't.. But I'm working on DH and getting him to go in on the Saturday 18th rather than waiting in till Monday 20th lol.. I was explaining we will only be there for a few hours, monitor, oil and check cervix if nothing is happening she'll send me home. Or either way send me home to rest and come back on the Monday for 'something else'
I'll be 39w 5d on the 18th.. It could be a slow and long labor with irregular contractions for days..
Indira- keep checking to see if anything has happened. I bet you are getting so impatient. I am really starting to now, find it hard to think of anything else.
I really hope you get the labour you hope for :pray:
No babies - Stubborn little monkeys! where are they?
