I am due feb 27th and I have been having pains in my lower stomach and when I go to the bathroom I sometimes feel pressure and pain. This wouldnt be a sign that I could go into labor early would it? Thanks

The pain shouldn't be excrutiating...If you have any bleeding or feel the least bit concerned don't hesitate to call your doctor. Most would love to help and answer a worried mother's questions! I hope all goes well throughout the rest of your pregnancy!

Generally pains in the lower stomach are braxton hicks contractions. True contractions begin at the top of the uterus! But call your doc to be sure!
