Does this mean the baby has engaged? I am 35 weeks and it's so uncomfortable!

Anyone? Does this mean labour will be soon?

It could mean that baby has engaged. You should find out shortly at your 36 week appointment.
Babies tend to engage anytime from around 36 weeks to when labour actually starts. When they engage has little impact on when you go into labour from what I'm aware, so you just might be uncomfortable until they make their appearance.
Sorry, I know it's probably not what you want to hear at all.

Not necessarily. I’m 38+5 and have had a lot of pressure on and off over the last couple of weeks- baby is not engaged at all according to midwife and consultant.
