Brief Answer:
it might be false pains
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
Iam Dr.Srilatha gynaecologist.I have gone through your query.
In my opinion your symptoms does not suggest true labour pains.
The features of true labour pains are:-
1)Regular intermittent contractions of uterus.
2)presence of mucus admixed with or without blood discharge.
3)Backache.
You might be in the prelabour phase where there are false pains.
These false pains do not cause any cervical changes and subside with medication.
But as you have pelvic region pain and headache I suggest you to consult your doctor as physical examination helps in accurate diagnosis.
Observe your fetal movements.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
