Does anybody know any tips on how 2 help 2 get the baby's head engaged? I'm 36 weeks and want to go to a birthing center an not a hospital. But the baby's head must be engaged before I can go. Thank you.

That looks like its going to help. Ill try these over the next 2weeks an hopefully it will be engaged by the time I see the midwife next.

Thank you for your help.

Great earlier blog on the very topic: nct.healthunlocked.com/blog...

I swear by sitting on a gym ball in the last weeks instead of flopping back on the couch. Worked for me!

Good luck! :)
