R/o hip problems: IN pregnancy braxton hick contractions- similar to growing pains happen around this period especially. But if you have problems with sitting, moving around,walking ,need to r/o problems with hips/other conditions like tendinitis-inflammation of tendons. Get examined by orthopediacian. Don't get xrayed as it is injurious to the baby. Magnetic scan is okay. Consult ur obstetrician before imaging.
