What Causes Cramps And Pain In Last Trimester Of Pregnancy?

Im 35.5 weeks pregnant and just the past 2 days i have been experiencing menstrual like cramps some really bad. I dont think there is any pattern at all yet. I also have a dull back ache as well. most of these symptoms happen at night but yesterday was all through the day. I have been feeling pressure downstairs almost as if the baby is pushing downwards. Should i be at all concerned?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having engaged head in the uterus producing this type of pain and feeling of baby pushing down wards.
As pain is not typical of labor pain like intermittent with regular interval, labor pain is less likely.
If problem persisted, consult your Obst and get examined.
Ok and take care.
