When the widest diameter of the fetal head passes through the narrowest diameter of the mother's pelvis, it is referred to as "engagement." This is a critical step in the process of labor, indicating that the fetus is descending into the birth canal in preparation for delivery. Proper engagement is essential for a successful vaginal birth, as it aligns the fetal head with the pelvic inlet.
