Some pregnant women experience false labor contractions in these pregnancy stages that are painful, but irregular. These can be felt in a variety of areas on your body, including your lower abdomen, pelvis and back.

If these were true labor contractions, they would start at the top of your uterus, and radiate throughout the rest of the uterus, around to your lower back, and into your pelvis. Some women say they feel like terrible menstrual cramps, while others claim it feels like intense abdominal and pelvic pressure.

Baby

Your baby is producing "surfactant" that will help him or her take the first breaths. This will prevent the air sacs in the lungs from sticking together once breathing starts.
