Normal pains at 37 weeks pregnant include backaches, pelvic pressure, and Braxton Hicks contractions. These discomforts happen as your body prepares for labor. Back pain is often due to the baby’s weight and position, while pelvic pressure is caused by the baby moving lower into the pelvis. Braxton Hicks, also called ‘false labor’ contractions, are irregular and usually not painful but can feel uncomfortable. Staying hydrated, changing positions, and applying heat can help manage these pains.
