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?
