It means your hormones are preparing your body for labor by softening your ligaments so your pelvis can accommodate the birth if your baby. Painful, but worth it in the end. If you can get a pregnancy corset to support your back and bump you will find you are a lot more comfortable.

It is false contractions.I had false contractions all the time.Count your contractions if they are two minutes apart each time then you need to go to the hospital but if you were haveing real ones you would know it. The real ones make you not want to breathe and it feels like someone is taking the jaws of life and prying you hips open and it feels like your baby is ripping through your stomach so when you feel that go to the hospital hope i helped you
