For me movement doesn't really slow down at the end of pregnancy - number 1 or 2. It is more squirming than flipping but still constant.

Re engaging - you do notice more space at the top of your uterus.

I really feel pressure in my pelvis and my hips are sorer and there is a stretchy feeling between my hips.

I also get a lot (over 24 hours straight) of Braxton Hicks when bubs engages. This time bubs has engaged and disengaged multiple times.

Hope that helps!
Yes it was more squirming and wriggling rather than full on moving around... Bub's hasn't really been up past my belly button the whole pregnancy - only the odd leg and foot here and there. Even when it was lying transverse for a couple weeks, it was below my belly button and between my pelvis still.
I also have had an unstable pelvis and tailbone pain since 15weeks, so there really is no difference in pain for me. I have been wearing the pelvis belt since about 20weeks. The joints at the back were very sore last night though - i had to wear the belt to bed and i haven't done that in prolly over two weeks.
No noticable braxton hicks - but then i've never had them before so dont really know what they feel like - just what i've read from everyone on here.

thanks for your replies though
