Help?? Lower Pressure?

Im a ftm, due April 29th and currently 35 weeks and 1 day. Starting this evening, ive been getting almost a constant pressure really low in my abdomen, right above my pubic bone. when its there, its there for a while then it leaves. Feels almost constant. what could it be? I've read everything from it being the baby dropping (which she hasn't done yet), dilation and effacement, braxton hicks... i just want to know what it is! Its not painful, just more uncomfortable than anything.. shes still moving around a lot in there. should i be concerned? or is this normal?

it could just be his position, my lil boy is engaged by half way according to my doc and sometimes I get a feeling of strong pressure down their and like I need to pee real bad, but then it stops and feels normal again. my doc said its just the position of the baby!

Most likely just the position your little one is in. I am 37 weeks 3 days and have been experiencing the same thing for awhile now even though my little one hasn't dropped either
