A member asked:

I am 18 weeks and feel pelvic pressure from time to time i previously had a preterm birth should i be concerned.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

.: This could very well be braxton hicks- false labor pains as you are into your second trimester, but if you have had a preterm delivery in the past and you don't know the exact reason why, better to consider this a high risk pregnancy and get to your OB with any signs of labor.
