baby is already engaged very low in my pelvis

My midwives were surprised since 2nd babies usually don't drop until just before delivery. I haven't had any contractions or lost my plug so that's good. In 12 days I'll be home-free for a homebirth

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I really do hope the little stinker comes a little early since our due date is the same day as my BILs wedding. Dh is one of the guys who stands up there with him. Usher? He's not the best man.

They were surprised, really?

My first dropped and engaged 8 weeks before birth!

It doesn't mean your imminent, don't worry!!

I dropped and engaged about 5 weeks early with my second.

This is my third, and she's already dropped too!

i was almost wondering when mine will drop. good to know they dont tend to drop too early with the second. my first seemed to be banging his head on my pubic bone for so long .... man, thats uncomfortable!!
still pretty high, and 6wks to go!!!

Question my midwife said the baby was low and she said something about it being at 2. What does this mean? Is 0 birth?
I am 35 weeks along.

Station.
-4 to +5. The baby's position relative to a certain set of bones on the inside of you, I forget what they're called. 0 station is engaged, and I believe +5 is crowning.
