What does it feel like when the fetus engages?

Patient's question:

I finally realized I was confused about the enter key. On Monday, during my prenatal check-up, the doctor told me that my baby had just engaged into the pelvis, but it was very shallow. Over the past couple of days, whenever I stand up, it hurts a lot in the creases of my thighs and abdomen, with a strong sensation of heaviness. I want to know what it feels like when the baby engages into the pelvis, what the sensation is like, and what is considered normal.
What kind of help do I need: What does it feel like when the baby engages into the pelvis?

Doctor's answer:
