37 weeks pregnant tomorrow, first baby and I've just been told his head is engaged now. Just wondering how long they normally take to get here after being told his head is fully engaged ?

Thank you !

Up to 42 weeks is all their time. Head engaged just means they're in the right position that's all

I was engaged from 34 weeks she arrived 40 plus 4 is when your cervix dilate
