Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is very common to experience such pains in last few months of pregnancy and are known as braxton hicks contractions.
these are false labour pains which will eventually turn into true pains around your delivery date.
but if these false pains come too frequently and also associated with pelvic pressure then visit your gynecologist immediately in ER.
also at all times keep a note of fetal movement counts which should be at least 10 in one day.
In case you have further questions you can consult me on health care magic forum and i will be happy to help
Take care and wish you all the best.
