Engaged baby and braxton hicks

Currently 34 weeks and went to see the midwife today. I felt my bump 'drop' a few days ago. Midwife said baby's head was engaged and very low (50%), which explains the drop, I've also had incredibly painful braxton hicks every 10 mins or so for the past few hours, they stop me from doing anything!!

Anyone else been told their baby is engaged and had the same symptoms?

Could labour be soon?

Could be also you labor could be in some weeks from now…everyone’s different and Braxton hicks is very common even to women that never go into labor on their own.

This is exciting!!! Makes sense too with more BH contractions - any indication if this means labor is soon from your midwife?
