Jo, It is true that babes of multips often don't engage until labor. However I have found that a babe who does not come into the brim at all before labor often turns out to have associating factors that may lead to cesarean section i.e. deflexed head, very large birthweight etc. All you can do is watch, wait, encourage mum and monitor labour.
