Hello,

Welcome to healthcare Magic.

I have gone through your query and Would like to reply in detail as follows:

1. This does not sound like engagement.

2. This seems to be regular braxton hicks contractions.

I hope your doubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
