3/5 engaged at 35 weeks... Is this standard and will it mean early labour?

Hello third trimesters!

I am 35+1, midwife believes that I am 3/5 engaged... Now I know it is a guesstimate but I feel so different. Constantly needing the loo, back killing, not sleeping and an urge to get things sorted. Wondering how my back will cope until 40 weeks!!

Have any of you got experience of engagement at this stage? Is it normal? This is my first baby so wondering whether it means I will meet my little bundle of joy sooner- my midwife was very vague!!

I was engaged from 33 weeks, think it was 3/5 from about 35/36 weeks but didn't have my son till 39 weeks x
