What does head engaging feel like?

Im 34+2 and was wondering what does it feel like when head is engaging? I went for a massage there on Friday and my masseuse was asking if it had happened yet. She described hers as "fanny daggers" (her words). Last night I felt a slight ease in pressure reagarding my ribs, but not much and then today every now and again I can feel what I can only describe as being stabbed with a needle in my groin.
Any thoughts?
