I've been having contractions that feel like monthly cramps in my lower abdomen and lower back. I'm feeling pressure in my groin and my legs are achy. I'm debating about going to the hospital. Has anyone else experienced this?

yes go to the hospital. it could be labor, but it might not, and you don't want to find out that it is when it is too late.
but don't fret too much, I started having contractions at 32 weeks and it never came to anything until I was 39 weeks and 1 day (when I gave birth).
some people just get painful braxton hicks.

you may wanna get an appt asap, t hat doesnt sound too good, i mean the pressure in your groin and legs being achy thats normal but the cramping doesnt seem like that would be normal.... or i would at least call your obgyn and tell him/her whats going on, and see what they say

Call your doctor first! He can tell you whether you need to do this. Also, drink a cold glass of water. Sometimes that will help settle things down. Don't rely on non-medical advice for this type of situation, You need to talk to your doctor. Besides, going to the hospital is very expensive if you don't need to go in.

You should do a general search about Braxton Hicks contractions, More than likely this is what you are experiencing.
