Increased pelvic pressure

Kelsey
Been having crazy pelvic pressure today.
I finally started timing them and had two intense ones since starting to time. They're about 16 minutes apart and last 1:30 to 2:00. It's like a dull ache (menstrual feeling) which I know could be contractions but I'm also hoping it's my body just preparing for the baby. Hard to tell. It's like I have the pressure constantly but it gets more intense for a couple of minutes. Anyone have this or had it lately?
