Lower abdominal pain

Hi. I am 34 weeks with baby number two. For the last week i feel pressure like baby is pushing down more and crampy pain in my left side kinda where you would feel period pain, it's really uncomfortable pain . Up until this week I was carrying really high and he has dropped a little. I was wondering if anyone else has this . And if it could just be ligament pains still.
I didn't have this with my first.

The pelvic pressure sounds normal. I had it 34 weeks now at 36 +1 it's back with a vengeance lol.. it's just the baby getting into position for delivery. The cramps could be BH but I'd call my doc if I were you just to make sure about that. Also if your dehydrated or need to use the restroom that can cause lots of pain there as well. Try resting with your feet up. Good luck..
