With my first, he was fully engaged ( 0/5ths ) around the 34 week mark I think. I was induced at 37 weeks for PE and HELLP syndrome though and he wasnt' ready, was still small then.
With my DD, she didn't engage till labour, but I had those pains, the prelabour for about a month or so before hand, and she ended up going 2 weeks overdue. I had to dodge having a medication induction forced on me.
It's certainly not unusal for your bub to start engaging this soon, especially with your first baby.
Definately take it easy moving though, especially lifting things. You don't want that bubba out before 36/37 weeks, so use all the exuses in the world for now, you are allowed
I had my 36 week OB appt last Monday and bubs is fully engaged 0/5, I freaked out a bit and posted a thread on 'When did you go into Labour after becoming fully engaged' most answered that they were on time, or even went over.
So I don't really think its an indication that you will go into Labour in the near future.... although you never know do you?
I would def take it easy moving, as you really do want a bub that is born at least 37 weeks. I should take my own advice, I just hoovered and am having some killer BH's! 6 days till bub will be 37 weeks!
