Pregnant with strong stomach pain

Hi I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant everything so far has been good with my baby. By then end of my 7 month I started to get really bad stomach pain and I told my doctor twice and he said it's the ligament of the baby or do to his growth and also caused I'm a small girl for that type of weight, so far I have only gain about 10 pounds and I'm almost 9 months. But my question is what's causally this pains or is it bad, there getting really worst and strong and it's more frequently. I try to walk, drink water, eat, and lay down but it only makes it worst. Please Im worry and really scare.

You NEVER want to ask to be induced at 33 weeks unless its life-threatening. Full term might be deemed as 37 weeks, but a pregnancy is dated to 40 weeks. Baby still has a ton of growing to do, and if born now will be in the NICU and/or on breathing machines. As much as we hate it, children are not born at our convenience.

If your doctor is not properly addressing your concerns or you're not happy with what he says, never hesitate to talk to another about it. Many things can cause pain while pregnant. For example- the extra weight on your lower body, stretching, babies position, internal bruising (I had it with my daughter and it hurt like crazy) etc etc.

Could be brazton hicks,  dont worry as long as it doesn't get worse. I would say don't ask to be induced, most the time contractions come one on top of.the other no resting being induced. Although if you already plan on getting a epidural you mose well go for it, but remember anything before 37 weeks is considered pre-term. Good luck!

It shouldn't be anything to worry about unless the pain becomes excruciating. The baby could be in a spot that's uncomfortable for your body. Don't fret, petite women don't usually get as big unless it's multiples.
If you're really concerned, you can ask to be induced or you can rest more every day. You're close enough to a full term pregnancy that it wouldn't harm the baby if you had it. Especially if you're in pain.
