heavy set feeling

For the past hour I've been having a heavy feeling in my lower abdomen, its the kind of feeling I normally get when my period shows up. I know its not that because I'm 9 months pregnant..currently 36 weeks exactly. I was just curious as to what this may be..any answers are appreciated.

Thank you both! Baby was head down about two weeks ago but she switched again and moved back up. Hopefully not much longer! :)

Its probably the baby getting into position. The further down they go the more 'pressure' you are going to feel...
