Its probably braxton hicks thats how mine felt i also had tons of pressure feeling starting at 32 weeks im 39 weeks now and the pains are noticeably different much stronger and more consistent
It's like a tight dull ache if that makes sense
I haven't tried timing yet. I'm 34.3 (but have been measuring 3 weeks ahead almost all pregnancy)
Sounds like contractions or braxton hicks how far along are you? I have been having contractions they feel like period pains and get stronger however mine arent close enough together there about 20min apart make sure you time them!!
And it seems to come and go.
