Hi
The lie is the relationship between the long axis of the fetus and that of the mother and can either be longitudinal, transverse or oblique. Longitunal means the long axis of the fetus and that of the mother are pointing to the same direction.Right longitudinal only describes the position of an arbitrarily chosen point on the presenting part with respect to the maternal birth canal.
Head not engaged means the presenting part is the head and that the head still lies high in the pelvic floor.
Normal delivery will be possible depending of the the final position of the presenting part after engagement.However, normal delivery in cephalic presentation is possible if the pelvis is adequate.The placenta is well positioned with a few calcifications visible.This suggest that the placenta is aging and delivery should be around corners but no danger to the baby yet.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
