I just saw my midwife and she said I was 3/5 and when you are in labour you are 5/5... is that the same thing as what you are talking about? ]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 15:38:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17493&PID=391174&title=dumb-question-about-engagement-descent#391174 <![CDATA[Dumb question about engagement/descent : D5 I think. ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17493&PID=391159&title=dumb-question-about-engagement-descent#391159 Author: mummy_becks

I *should* know the answer to this, and I *used* to know the answer to this but I am completely blank atm!

How do the descent numbers work? Baby is currently D2, which my midwife describes as "pretty deep", am I remembering rightly that D4 is fully engaged?]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 15:29:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17493&PID=391157&title=dumb-question-about-engagement-descent#391157
