I'm 38+1 baby has been engaged for weeks and I'm very low down now baby dropped quite quickley. Midwife had a feel about and said cervix and the other door is slightly open now and that she can touch babies head. She done a sweep yesterday. But she did say there were no waters but her guess was baby being so low it won't be long. But today 24 hours later I'm having bum pressure back pain on and off in the night really bad groin pain. I read that bum pressure might be baby pushing down. Does it sound like labour slowley coming on obviously I will know when the real thing with contractions start. But just wondering if they are signs??

It’s impossible to tell unfortunately! It could be tomorrow, it could be 3 weeks.
With my first I had a sweep and was told it was ‘unfavourable’... cervix was too far back and closed to even do the sweep. Baby born 2 days later.
Baby number 2 was engaged and low from 34 weeks. Midwives said things like ‘ooh this one isn’t hanging around, it’ll be an early one’. Born at 40+2.
