Thank you for your tips guys, iam from india, my wife was 37 weeks pregnant and the doctor said the baby is not engaged into pelvic, it is in mobilized stage. Then they told us to 80 % ready for cesarean, after watching your video, we sincerely following your excercises for 1 weeks, after 38 weeks we are going for checkup, doctor said that baby is engaged today is that day, im so happy. Once again thank you guys.

[@sisterinthisdunya]

in india and pakistan they always say the corrupt doctors that women need C section cause they want money and are corrupt. Even if baby is not engaged that is NO problem, the contractions will start and the baby will normally come out. Never listen to doctor if they say natural birth not possible only operetion. They just want money.

This is me again...You guys have been so helpful during flipping my breach baby. Now at 38+3 my baby has no plan on engaging in my pelvis. My OB said I have a lot of amniotic fluid (normal blood works) plus I admit during this pandemic I have not walk a lot outside but instead I do yoga, prenatal work out and spend a lot on balls...Tomorrow I will have another check up and ultrasound. I will definitely try this exercises can help me with so little time I have (1 week). Thank you for uploading this video. This is my first pregnancy and it is very helpful content.

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, first of all, thanks SO MUCH for your feedback!! 😘 We are super happy to hear that our videos helped you turn your baby! 😊 These exercises could certainly help engage your baby. The only question is in how far the level of amniotic fluid plays a role in your baby's current (unengaged) position. Sometimes, we have cases of polyhydramnios where it's just very difficult to make this work. However, these are really "extreme" cases of "too much amniotic" fluid. On the other hand, if your baby was able to turn, then it is also likely that these exercises will help you engage your baby... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi you gys are doing great job Well done keep it up❤ I have one question from you when did the baby head engage in pelvis my wife is pregnent 38 weeks and 2 days but the doctor said that head is not engaged till she gave her a week for next check up. What can we do please suggest us she is really scared from c section.

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, so, just that we got that right: First, your doctor told you that the baby is engaged. And then later, he told you baby is not engaged anymore? Is that right? If so, we can only recommend getting a second opinion! It is best to have a second person confirm the status of baby's engagement. We PARTICULARLY recommend getting a second opinion, if your doctor tells you that your wife needs a C-section BECAUSE baby is not engaged. The lack of engagement is not a reason for a C-section (unless there are medical problems of course). So, please consider getting a second opinion! If baby is indeed not engaged, then you can find helpful tips and tricks in the video you commented on! However, please also keep in mind that some babies only engage very late (sometimes hours before labor starts). And sometimes they only engage AFTER labor has started... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you, your wife and your baby!! ❤️

[@saqibmustafa2281]

Can we wait for 42 weeks without any worry???

[@saqibmustafa2281]

Thanks aloot for your reply❤ The doctor said that the baby's head is on the exactly upr part of the pelvis but not fixed in it. So you have one week for wait. My wife is an active lady. She do all activities at home staira up down , walk and deep squats from last night. She is worried about the engagment of the baby's head.

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@saqibmustafa2281 Okay, don't worry! Deep squats can really be super effective! And if your wife is active too, there is NORMALLY no reason to worry at all! 😊

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@saqibmustafa2281 That depends on your wife's pregnancy case! So, unfortunately, that's something we cannot tell you. We can only tell you - in general - that we know many women who gave birth as late as week 42 and delivered a healthy baby... ;-) But it's best to talk with your doctor about it....

Thanks so much for all your videos. I love watching them and writing tips down. 😊 I found out the baby was in the optimal position around week 32. Can the position change from that time? It’s not yet time to see the doctor. I also have severe pain in my pelvis making it so difficult to get up from my couch or bed. Sometimes, I can’t really walk well also and have to waddle around. It can get better, then worse. All of that, with a bit of intermittent diarrhoea and loose stools, I don’t know what to think. Please, is there any advice you can give? Love you all so much. ❤️❤️❤️ And I love the accent and how clear your videos are. Kindly keep it up.

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, first of all, thanks so much for your very lovely feedback!! We are very happy to hear that you find our content helpful - it's the best compliment a channel can get! 😊❤️ 👍 Regarding your case: It's difficult to tell what's going on in your womb. However, one option is that your baby has dropped, particularly, when looking at the signs that you observe... Please note that it CAN happen sometimes that babies drop very early (week 32). In most cases, that's absolutely fine. In very very very rare cases though it COULD be a sign that your body prepares for preterm labor. Because of that, we would talk with your midwife about the signs that you observe. Maybe this information is relevant to them (depending on your pregnancy case). Regarding your other question: in THEORY, a baby can always go back into a breech presentation after being cephalic. However, we would not worry about that. Because now, you know that nothing prevents your baby from turning. If baby has done it once, baby can do it again! We do hope that our answers help you! We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Should i do all these if there is nuchal cord

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, we have met many women in similar situations and - except from one case - all of them have been able to do the exercises that we show on our channel (the ones to prepare for labor). So, normally, this should not be a problem. However, please do ask for your doctor's approval before you do them! The reason is that not every case of a nuchal cord is the same. In rare cases, there can be complications which is why it is important to get your doctor's approval first because only your doctor knows the details of your pregnancy case! Thank you! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@bimaginaryworld]

I am 38 weeks now and my obgyn told me that the baby position is correct (head down) but her chin is not tucked in so her face is kind of looking up. I am so worried this might cause malpresentation that will cause complications, is there any way to fix her face positioning and make sure her chin tucked in before labor? This makes me scare to do any exercise that might cause her head engaged when her face still tilt in this position 😭 Thank you so much beforehand for all of your informative videos 🥰🥰

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, we completely understand that you are worried about your baby's position. However, please don't be! Your baby has still time to move into a better position. Moreover, even if labor starts, such a "malposition" often resolve by itself - if you give your body the time. We also understand that you are too scared to do any exercises that might cause your baby's head to engage. However, it's exactly that - exercises and positions - which could help your baby move into a better position. The most important one is the forward leaning position (knee to elbow) that we describe in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2nCe4eNdrh6ftk (skip everything else in this video as long as your baby is not in a better position). The knee-to-elbow position can help your baby move into a better position because your provide your baby with more room in your womb to do so... There is also an alternative approach of the knee to elbow position which we explain in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17OmWmkrayeec0. It allows you to remain in that position for longer. That said, please always ask your provider first if it is okay to do these exercises, as obviously only they know your pregnancy case... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

But in general, we can tell you that we know lots of VBAC moms who did these exercises and were absolutely fine. By the way: if you want to know if your baby has engaged, you can look at the signs and symptoms that you experience.

[@karthickg8116]

Hello Both! Videos from you are really amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have few queries! Hope you could suggest me something better! My wife is currently 37 weeks 1 day pregnant. As per the USG done on 37 weeks baby weight is 3.3 kg +/- 10%. Currently baby is in cephalic presentation with spine towards meternal left. It's first baby. Doctor said that head is not engaged and may be there are higher chances of c- section since baby weight is more. Currently amniotic fluid index is 13.9 and the placenta is anterior. What do you suggest us to do to get baby engaged

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, first of all, please keep in mind that some babies only engage very late in a pregnancy. In fact, some only do it hours before labor starts (or even after labor has started). We have some more information on this in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqXYp6qFe8mDfqM But to help the baby engage, you are already on the right video! If there is an exercise that can help a baby engage, then it's certainly deep squats (which we show in this video). Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that it helps though. There are at least 10 reasons why a baby may simply not be able to engage. However, those cases are very rare.... No reason to be worried about those cases right now... Has your wife already tried the exercises from this video?

[@karthickg8116]

Hi there, yes my wife did all the exercises except the 2 nd one from this video from week 34

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@karthickg8116 Okay. Well, please note that sometimes a baby may not be able to engage, which can have several reasons. However, right now, there is no need to panic because your wife is "only" 37 weeks pregnant. As we said, some babies do engage very late....

I have hyper mature placenta with placental calcification now I am 36 weeks pregnent my baby is in cepahalic position but head is not engaged.Today I went to the check up docter suggest c-section after 10 days because of calcifications.Is there any chances for normal delivery in 37th week

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, we are not gonna lie to you: it is very difficult to naturally induce labor at 37 weeks. At that time, your cervix only just starts to soften. And a soft cervix is a prerequisite for natural labor induction. The question is, however: why not try an induction first? Why go straight for a C-section? So, one thing we recommend doing is that you get a second opinion! Let another doctor confirm that your placenta is indeed that calcified that you require a C-section. And then also discuss with them, if an induction is not a better option! We hope this helps! 😘 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

I do cardio on days when I feel very energetic and do stretches on days I don't have much energy. There are days when I am so tired and just wanted to rest. I skip the exercises in that day.

@@jeslaabduljaleel8518 Okay! Well, nothing that you do here should be a reason why your baby keeps backing up from your pelvis... And it is also totally fine to skip exercises every now and then!

Hello I am at 38 weeks pregnant and baby is head down. However his head is not engaged yet. And my baby is 3.3kg already. Will I be able to have vaginal birth please? I have just started to do these exercises. Thank you ❤

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, while it is crucial for a normal delivery that your baby DOES engage at SOME point, we clearly want to point out that some babies only engage AFTER labor has started. In other words, not every baby engages before labor has started. Only recently, we had such a case: the baby was not engaged, but labor started. Only 5 hours into active labor, the baby finally engaged. And the mother eventually delivered a healthy baby. So, please always keep that in mind! 😊 Also, we have had cases of babies who had 4kg+ and still engaged eventually. So, it is not possible to say, for example, a baby of 3kg+ cannot engage. It really depends on your overall case. The best is not too worry too much! You will only know how it goes once you are in labor.... We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Can I try these positions if my baby is cephalic but not engaged yet? I am 39 weeks pregnant

[@Beinghomemaker4u]

Hey there! Commenting for first time though I watch your videos regularly. I'm 34 weeks rn and in my 29 weeks scan they say baby is cephalic, but I always do feel a bulge or hard part on right side of my belly , I think it's baby's back. And left lower half of my belly is also hard. I think its the bub head. So the position is slightly oblique right??? How cephalic??? The head doesn't need to be on pubic area? I'm FTM and sooo anxious regarding baby's position, strictly want natural birth. Please guide me if this is normal or I'm having a problem?

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, so, here is the thing: when baby is head down, baby is not necessarily in a position where baby's back is exactly in the center of your belly. The back can also be more on the left or the right side. So that's that. Now, if you feel baby's head on the other side (than the back), then it COULD be that baby is indeed in an oblique position. However, of course, only a doctor can confirm this. If that is really the case, we would not worry too much though! So far, we have seen hardly any cases when oblique presentations are a problem for a normal delivery. The most important thing is that your baby is head down. Also, you can (normally) easily support your baby find a better position with the help of birth ball exercises (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmTWgIKYpr97qLs). Plus, there is also a blog post that you might find helpful: careaboutlittleones.com/best-sitting-position-to-help-baby-find-a-good-position-in-the-womb/ We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

@@CareAboutLittleOnes Hey thanks for the quick reply! I really needed this to read. Now feeling relaxed.

Perhaps everything is normal and I'm overthinking about it. I'm due for my next scan on 3rd of November , fingers crossed till then. Will update you guys about my baby's position after then.

Hi there 😘, please note that some babies only engage once labor has started. And normally, there is absolutely no problem with that as long as the baby engages at some point....

[@haley7185]

Once a baby is engaged is it still possible for them to spin ti face the right direction?

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, yes and no. It really depends on the size of baby's head vs the size of your pelvis. Because of that, oftentimes, a baby does not engage as long as baby is not facing the back. But in general, it is possible. That said, ideally, baby moves into a better position first before baby engages: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raDYeGZjprt0ntE. If baby is already engaged, we often see that it is easier to help baby's head out of the pelvis first, help him/her move into a better position and then to help baby re-engage again. But we are not gonna lie to you: this is not an easy task.... and it is certainly nothing that can be accomplished in a short period of time... Still, we hope this information helps you! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

For example, sometimes, a chiropractor has to do their magic first, before a baby is able to engage - it all depends on your body...

You may also require certain additional supplements. But unfortunately, this is something only your doctor can tell you - based on your pregnancy case.

Hi there 😊, first of all, please note that it is normally still possible to have a normal vaginal delivery, even when baby is not engaged. Second, some babies only engage HOURS before labor starts, some even afterwards. This is different from woman to woman, so please, do not be worried just yet! There is still plenty of time 😊. If you are already so active, then you don't need to add anything else. You are already doing a great job! The only thing we can think of is seeing a chiropractor to support the process. However, please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that it works... Also, when you do squats, make sure it's deep squats, as only deep squats can help the baby engage... Otherwise, stay positive! If your baby is head down, it's only a matter of time til baby drops! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

This is something that really only your doctor can tell you because only they know all the facts about your case. The only thing you could do is get a second opinion from another doctor. But it's important that they look at your pregnancy case in detail so that they can come up with the best advice in your case... We are sorry that we cannot be a better help here.... We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

I’m 39+1 week pregnant but my baby still not engaged, Am doing butterfly squart and hip open exercises…does this is effective for me?

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, please note that the butterfly stretch and hip opener exercises are only exercises to prepare your body for the engagement process. But they don't actually make the baby engage in the pelvis. The only exercise which can make a baby engage are deep squats....

I just saw my OB and she told me Iam 1 cm dilated and my cervix is soft but she didn’t want to do “ stretch and sweep” because babies head is still quite high just sitting on top of the pelvic. I have induction scheduled for next week ( in 7 days exactly)but in all honesty it terrifies me. What can I do so baby arrives naturally before my induction. Thank you in advance

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, have you already tried the exercises that we show in this video (exercises to engage baby's head - particularly deep squats)? We have had some great success with these! So, if your OB confirms that you can do them, these exercises might help bring baby further down into your pelvis... This will then also affect everything else in your body in terms of your body's preparation for labor.... 😊

[@gabrielabartosikova81]

@@CareAboutLittleOnes thank you so much for your reply. I am eating dates, using birthing ball and drinking raspberry tea for quite sometime but will do what you recommend. Many thanks. I love watching your videos! Also is nipple stimulation safe in my case since baby is still not in the position?

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@gabrielabartosikova81 You are most welcome!! 😊 Using a birth ball is great! That too will normally help in your situation! 😊 If your doctor approves (based on your pregnancy case), you can certainly try nipple stimulation (given that you are at least 37 weeks pregnant). That's because, let's assume it helps you with first contractions or even with the start of labor, those contractions can help your baby engage too (sometimes babies only engage after labor has started)... 😊

[@priyaagri1573]

I'm right now 40th week..but the baby not engaged..here after any chance

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there Priya 😊, it very much depends on why the baby is not engaged so far. Please note that sometimes there can be good reasons why a baby is not engaging. For example, the shape of the pelvis, the size of the head, the location of the placenta etc. HOWEVER: we also want to point out that sometimes, babies only engage AFTER labor has started (or hours before it starts). Oftentimes, the force of contractions is needed to make it happen... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

I have been watching your videos i am 33 weeks pregnant and i keep having pain in between my legs and when i get up from the couch or bed after realxing it hurts in between there and pain in my lower back like a sharp pain i also have to get a 3 hour glucose because my 1 hour came back high... I also have alot of yellowish discharge and not to mension i have to use the bathroom to pee every 5 minutes soo annoying😣 lol

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there Mara 😘, we are sorry to hear that you go through so many things... 😬 So first of all, it very much sounds like your baby has dropped already. This will increase the pressure in your pelvis and could explain the many things that you feel. On top of that (or in addition), it could also be a problem of pelvic girdle pain, particularly, if it hurts to get up from a couch or bad. Sometimes, it can also be that the baby is not in an optimal position when baby has dropped which could also explain many of these problems. Given the discharge that you observe and also because of the fact that it could be that your baby has dropped already, we recommend talking with your midwife. But to be clear: the things that you experience could be totally normal, so there is not necessarily a reason to be worried. However, it would be great to have a confirmation from your midwife or provider... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, if your doctor allows you to do these exercises, then you can certainly do them! Please note that the low level of amniotic fluid is not THAT critical when it comes to baby's engagement. As long as your baby is head down, it should still work (at least based on our experience)... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, yes, these exercises can certainly help engage your baby. So, if your doctor gives you their approval, you can give them a try. However, your doctor is absolutely right: sometimes, babies only engage once the contractions start. So, please do not be worried too much about it! Walking is always a good idea. But it does not need to be a lot. Studies show that if you go for a 30min walk per day, that's already great. Finally, if you are eating between 60 and 80 grams of dates per day, that's great! It's a great preparation of your cervix. We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, NORMALLY (unless there are medical problems of some sort), neither a single loop around the neck nor a lack of pre-labor engagement are reasons for a C-section. Moreover, if your fluid level is 12 at 38 weeks, it corresponds exactly to the mean (which is similar to the "average number") that we see in scientific studies Maybe you would like to get a second opinion by a different doctor...

From week 24-26 onwards, this is when it starts to matter. Relax a little! We are sure everything is fine! 😊 Of course, if you are worried that your baby is not well, please do talk to a doctor!

Hie, thanks a lot for uploading such informative videos. I'm 39 weeks + 4 days and 1 cm dilated. I lost my mucus plug a day back as well. However, my AFI is 4 and my doctor has given me 2 days before she medically induces me. I have tried all your labour induction methods (excluding sex because I'm 1 cm dilated) but none of them seem to work. I had 3 false contractions, that's it. Also, baby's head is not engaged yet because baby is at a slightly different angle than the pelvis. Could you please help me out? I just have a day left to naturally induce.

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, we are not gonna lie to you: it is really very difficult to induce labor if you are under time pressure. Stress and labor induction are two things which "don't like each other". That said - in our experience - the one thing that tends to work even in such situations is Castor oil. However, it is important to note that Castor oil won't work for every woman. Moreover, it does require the approval of your doctor. So, if your doctor approves the intake of Castor oil, it is something that COULD help you induce labor fast, particularly, if you combine it with other tools, such as nipple stimulation. But again, inducing labor naturally under time pressure is a very very difficult task... Still, we hope this information helps you... 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi there 😊, please do not worry at all! If your doctor said that your baby's head has dropped, it actually means that baby IS engaged.

I just watched some of your uploaded videos since I am 39 2/7days pregnant and still my baby isn't engaged. I am still 1cm open, and my doctor told me that my chance IF induced will be 50-50 to have normal delivery since my score was like 4 only. 😔 I want to deliver normally and I also want to help my baby engaged. I will try doing these protocols, however, I have a question. What particular time of the day is best to do these? And how many times in a day possible? Thank youuuu, will wait for your response. ❤️

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, so, given the fact that you have a score of 4 only, it also means that your cervix is not yet well prepared for labor. But don't worry! In some women, it just takes a bit longer. However, there are tools that can help you support the process. We talk about them in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqPImZWrpdybsLs We'd also like to refer you to our other video, which is about the best "sitting position" to support the whole "going into labor" process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWbYqZmoZb59lac And finally, regarding the exercises: It depends a bit on you WHEN during the day you do them. For example, some women feel nauseas in the morning, even that late in their pregnancy. Therefore, they are more likely gonna do them in the afternoon. However, normally, we do them twice per day (in the morning and in the afternoon) unless of course your doctor told you that you cannot do these exercises... We really hope they will help you! 😊 By the way: sometimes, a chiropractor could help as well... We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Admittedly, it happens more in second pregnancies, however, it can absolutely happen in first pregnancies as well. So, please don't be worried!

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, we are not gonna lie to you: with polyhydramnios it is more difficult to help a baby engage. However, we know many women who successfully made their baby engage with these exercises. The good news is also that the level of amniotic fluid reaches its peak around 35 weeks. Afterwards, the level declines which is probably what you observe right now. Therefore, these exercises are probably more likely going to work for you at later stages of your pregnancy. Actually, independent of the level of amniotic fluid, we would not try them before week 36 (or week 35 if you include the preparation week). We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi there Angela 😊, did your midwife not recommend any particular positions/exercises to help the baby get into a better position? In cases like yours, we would normally focus on the first two exercises to help the baby get into a better position (particularly position 2 - knee to chest). Deep squats will not help right now. However, please also discuss this with your midwife because maybe there are good reasons why you should not do these exercises, particularly, if she has not mentioned any such exercises to you... Not sure how easy it is to get labor started in this situation, even with your cocktail 😊 But if it does work out, then the contractions will normally also do the job and get your baby into a better position. And there are exercises that can support that process once you are in labor, which hopefully your midwife will show you (unfortunately, we have not yet recorded any videos on this topic)...
