Patient's question:
Everything is normal, just hasn't engaged yet. The doctor said to have a C-section, but I want a vaginal birth. Is that possible?Doctor's answer:
Whether the fetus can engage depends mainly on the position of the fetus in the uterus and the condition of the pelvis. There are no special methods to help the fetus engage. In your case, it is generally normal to wait for 2 weeks, usually until after 37 weeks, with delivery occurring within 42 weeks. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much. Regular prenatal check-ups are important, and for a natural birth, it is best to let nature take its course.
