Bladder question

I'm 33+6 and am just wondering if once the head engages, do you feel like you need to wee more or is it the same as it was before?
The reason I ask is that at the moment, the baby often puts pressure on my bladder when I know it's empty (like now, just been for a wee so bladder is empty but baby has started moving and that "need to wee" sensation is coming and going) and I just wondered if after the head engages, does that get worse or will it continue as is.
I found that when I finished work at 32 weeks, as I wasn't moving around as much I didn't pee as often but now baby is obviously getting bigger so pressing on it more.

The last few weeks of pregnancy with DD I didn't feel like I was ever off the loo. Even at night, up every couple of hours for a wee, which turned out to be the smallest wee in the history of the universe every time.

Lol flisspaps, I too find the teaspoon wees very irritating. I can tell the difference between the little ones and the bigger ones and my pelvic floor is okay so if it's a teaspoon wee, I tend to wait as the sensation often goes and I've never peed myself.
At the moment I'm up possibly 1-2 times in the night but even before being pregnant I would always wake 2-3 times per night so it doesn't really bother me. In fact, needing a wee never wakes me, I wake anyway and think whilst I'm awake I'll go and have one.
