A member asked:

I'm a ftm . 35 weeks pregnant .baby's head down but still didn't engage in the pelvis..does that mean i have at least more than 2 weeks to deliver ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Few more weeks: Most babies drop or engage after 37 weeks of pregnancy. However, I have seen some who drop right before labor. So, please do not worry.
