Question: 4/5 engaged what does this mean?
Answer: Your midwife records your baby's head engagement in measurements of fifths. If you read 5/5 or 4/5, this means that the head is not engaged yet. Notes of 3/5, 2/5 or less means your baby's head is engaged. That's because – at 3/5ths – the widest part of your baby's head is in your pelvis.
