Lower stomach pain at 36 weeks

Question

Hi mummies! Recently i’ve been having this throbbing sharp pain at the lower stomach. It feels like somebody is slicing through my stomach. I’m a FTM. Could this be ligament pain or early labour that my body is preparing? It has been ongoing for few days, even when I woke up from sleep thinking the pain will go away. Help :(  #firsttimemom

It is just ligament pain whereby body is preparing for labour. It could be on next check up, baby's head already engaged and ready to see the world anytime. Furthermore the pain is also cause by baby's head that's already down hence you feel the pain.
