What does it feel like when breech baby engages?

I'm 37+4 with DC3. Am booked for c/s next week for other medical reasons, but baby also breech.

However, have been in extreme discomfort today and can only describe it like baby moving into right down into the pelvis and trying to push it's way out . Have quite bad SPD so everything feeling very fragile down there right now!

However, having only had experience of head-down vaginal births before, I am wondering what a breech engagement feels like? Maybe it's just my SPD?

Indeed, as they say engagement rarely happens until immediately before birth with 2nd and subsequent babies - does it make a difference with a breech presentation ie would this mean labour is imminent?

Any experiences of this?
