Baby's head is not engaged at 38w 3d

2024-07-23 04:04:37
This is my first pregnancy. Doctor has told that chance of normal delivery is less as baby's head is not engaged yet. Baby's Head Circumference and Fetal weight are in lower percentiles (5 and 22 respectively). AFI is 10.1. Is it possible for baby to engage in the coming days and chance for normal delivery. I am walking for two hours daily and also doing exercises.

There is still more time for the head to get engaged. Continue being physically active as appropriate.

Engagement of the head can occur in labour nothing to worry about This is not an indication for   cesarean section you should wait for spontaneous onset of labour
