Talk to OB: Before you spend several hours and hundreds of dollars in the er, call you OB with this question. In the meantime, apply some ice or heat, whichever feels better, to the area. If you've fallen and hurt yourself at term, that's a horse of a different color, and a more urgent evaluation may be necessary. Good luck.
