Baby's positioning and Lightening Crotch

I'm now 33+4 and have been experiencing some sharp feelings down below, the only thing I can describe it as is a 'popping' sensation or an electric shock feeling, they're bearable but they take me by surprise. Baby has always been head down for as long as I can remember however,
at 31+5 I went into hospital to be monitored for reduced movements and in my notes it says that baby's lie is long and that his Pres is CEPH and that his position to Brim is ROL - could anyone tell me what this means and if it's anything too worry about as I don't understand my notes and with these twinges I'm getting I don't know if it's all normal or not.
Is it worth mentioning to my midwife on Tuesday? Thank You in advance.

Ceph is head down.
Brim means just at the entrance of your pelvis but free so not engaged more than likely your baby is moving down.
I'm 34 weeks and exactly same as you he's also moved down now at 4/5 so no wonder I feel as though he is about to fall out 🙈.

@Boymummy3 does this mean that baby could come earlier than his expected due date or is it all completely normal? I will ask my midwife on Tuesday too check if she can see if he's engaged or not just to put my mind at rest. Thank you x

Unfortunately it doesn't mean alot. Baby can engage and unengaged several times before birth esp in first time pregnancies. X
