General & Family Physician,  's  Response
It's very common to have lower abdominal pains and increasing pressure in the pelvic area as the pregnancy progresses in the third trimester. It maybe due to false contractions which are normal and not concerning. If she has bleeding, or her water breaks, or continuous abdominal/pelvic pain-take her to the labor room immediately. If not, mention your concerns to her doctor at the next visit. Also it would be advisable for your daughter to stop lifting heavy objects. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
