My baby's head is not yet fixed in pelvis . But doctor is planning to go for induction as my baby is 3.3 kg last week.
Is there any chance for baby engaging because of induction or should I straight away schedule c section
Pls advise - first time mom
We usually give a try in such situation. With induction and later rupture of membranes, head might get fixed and can result in normal delivery. Please discuss with your gynecologist who has done your physical examination. She will be able to guide you. All the best.

After doing the proper pelvic examination only it can be established that the baby’s head has descended and fixed itself in the pelvis. So visit your gynaecologist in person and get yourself examined and then it can be decided whether the head is engaged and the induction of labour can be started.
