I'm about 37.5 weeks along and at my 37 week checkup the ob said that baby was engaged. This is my second baby and I was under the impression that baby wouldn't engage till very close to labour. Does this mean labour could be close?

Also, without giving too much gross info, things are getting a little bit more goopy down below and pungent smelling - not excessively, just enough for me to notice - a bit like I'm ovulating. is this another sign things could be imminent?
