A member asked:

Does pelvic pressure mean i am going into pre-term labor?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Not necessarily. Pressure is common towards the end of the pregnancy or if it is not your first pregnancy. If there is any crampy pain, bleeding, or mucus/watery discharge you should call your doctor immediately.

Pelvicl pressure: The baby is sitting low in your pelvis meaning it's dropped and you will go into labor shortly.
