Lower and Side pain

Hey I am 25 weeks and for the longest I’ve been experiencing so much lower abdominal pain, and it hurts to stand at times, and when I am lying on my side and go to lay on my back the pain so bad I am nearly crying, my doctor said it’s probably normal but it doesn’t feel as if it is, I didn’t have it at all with my first pregnancy and my cervix is close and it’s not Braxton Hicks. What can it be?
