36 w 6 days along '

These past few days I've been having a lot of pressure in my pelvic and few hours ago I started getting what seems to be Braxton hicks and back pains all at once . Any of you ladies experienced anything similar ? If so what did you do to relieve the pain ?? This is my first pregnancy so I really would appreciate any suggestions from any of you

They call baby dropping lightening! Listen to your body if something tells you theyre contractions then i would see if they come in a pattern. Braxton hicks will be irregular and stop after an hour or when you drink alot of water
