Am I close? Second pregnancy and engagement?

I'm nearly 37 weeks with my second baby and he's 4/5 engaged. I know that in first pregnancies the baby can engage a few weeks before labour but I thought in second pregnancies the baby only engage just before labour. Does this mean he's coming soon?

Those who have had more than one baby - how much before labour did they engage?

Update:

Aaah as every woman before me I was rather hoping for a discount in time! Back to waiting my 3-4 weeks then!

    My cousin just had her Second and he was no different than the first, the whole pregnancy was the same and so was the delivery. The Second baby looks just like her first!- she of course is happy that she has two healthy baby boys but she wants another on that is a girl and a little different! Good luck! God Bless!

    Not necessarily. Your body has just been through this before. If you start to have diarrhea frequently and losing your mucus plug,then you can probably place bets he will come early.
