2/5 means only 2 fifths of babys head can be felt above pelvis!!! 5/5 is totally free and 0/5 is completely engaged........im jealous im 39+3 and wen i had 38 week check he still wasnt engaged lol lazy baby

lol so because of being in that position and the anti natal clinic guy thinking this was my 2nd pregnancy do you think she will be early? xxx
You may be early but it could stay at 2/5 for a while.
You need to get to 5/5!

Hi There,

'2/5' would mean that your baby was nicely tucked into the pelvis or 'engaged' ('eng', for short). This does not necessarily mean that labour is about to start, but it does mean that there is plenty of room for your baby to pass through the pelvis and out the other side.
