Woke up to pain??

I’m currently 36 and 5 and woke up to a pain that ended up bringing me to tears and clenching whatever was near. It went on for at least five minutes and felt like the baby was pushing down as hard as possible. I just felt so much intense pressure in my bottom area. It was a pretty constant pain with some some shooting pains in between. When I looked it up they said the baby probably dropped and that’s what was causing it but once the pain fully stopped I got up to look the baby hasn’t visibly dropped at all. Since then I’ve had a couple contractions that didn’t last long and were very far apart in time I’m just not sure what that pain was. Does anyone know? Since I still feel him moving a lot and it’s no longer consistent or constant I don’t think there is anything to call doctor about I’m just curious at this point.
