Emily
has taken up her position for birth perhaps
a month or only days in advance. She may
achieve this position by making small
stepping movements and to push her feet
off a the firm wall of the uterus. As
her feet push, her head becomes well lodged
in the exit and she cannot get out. This
is her engagement for birth. `When her
head becomes engaged in the cervix, her
mother will feel the "lightening" as the
mass of the baby sinks lower.
