What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain During 39th Week Of Pregnancy?
I am 39 weeks pregnant today, and for the last three days have been experiencing severe hip and lower abdominal pain. I have also been having contractions on and off, but not steadily enough to make me think I'm in labor. What could be making my lower abdomen hurt so bad?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Your body is preparing for labor which is why you have been experiencing these symptoms. You are not far from holding your child in your arms, wishing you lots of luck.
Best wishes.
