#AsktheExperts Hi doc, I am 38 weeks 3 days pregnant. Today my consulting doc informed that baby's head is not yet engaged. Do let me know when can baby's head get engaged, what we should do for that and is there any chance that labour pains will start without engaging of head ?

A. just keep walking at home when ever you can and as long as you are comfortable and yes the labour pains can start even if the head is not engaged. sometimes the head will engage only after the labour pain start
