Having period-like cramps and low back pain at 33 weeks pregnant. what could this mean?

Common: The weight gain and change in center of gravity as well as the weakening of the core muscles which are being stretched leads to an increase in low back pain in many women. The best thing to do is stay active and stretch daily as long as your obgyn clears you. Most symptoms will resolve within weeks of delivering.

Preterm labor: It could also mean you are in labor. Recommend evaluation by your ob.
