36 weeks

Katelyn

Over the weekend I noticed that I have started to lose my mucus plug. I’ve lost pieces so far. I went to the doctor today, had an ultrasound and mentioned it to my doctor. Was checked and found out I’m 2cm dilated, but my cervix is still thick and baby hasn’t engaged. I’m not sure what “baby not being engaged” means fully. I understand that labor can still be a few weeks away. But is there anything I can do to help him engage or start to thin my cervix? Baby is measuring around 2 weeks ahead and this would be my third pregnancy second full term. My oldest was born at 37 weeks on his own. Just curious as to what to do. I seem to always be in pain/uncomfortable and not being able to sleep. Really hoping for him to come on his own without having to be induced which was mentioned today at the doctors appointment.
