Low down pressure - the start?

[Smiler82]

I had a sweep this afternoon, am 2cms dilated and the MW could feel baby's head Also she could only feel 2/5ths of his head when feeling my tummy, so he's def on the way down!

Since the sweep, my lower back has been aching a lot. The other thing I'm getting is a sensation of pressure low down, almost feels like the baby is pushing his head down. Only lasts for a minute or less and can't quite see any regularity in the timings of it yet, so I'm not sure this is a precursor to proper contractions. Any ideas or experiences?

TIA x

I had this after my first sweep. It was almost 2 weeks again before I gave birth! Everybody is different though!!
