A member asked:
I'm 36 weeks pregnant and i'm getting cramps and lower back pain, what could be the meaning of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"36w pregnant" ?: At 36 weeks, the fetus usually has "dropped" to a lower position in the pelvis, which can result in lower back pain from pressure on the spine. Increased fetal size with movement can also cause lower back pain. See your OB physician if this continues for reassurance.
