Most likely your baby's head is shoving against your bladder and other organs down below, causing the pressure pains. I've had them since week 27. Good luck!
Edited to add: After reading the comments above mine, I thought I should add that pressure pains are not necessarily lightening. Lightening happens generally between 2-4 weeks before birth, and while the pressure can get much worse after lightening has happened, pressure is completely normal before it occurs. Babies generally turn into delivery position (head down) sometime during the 20-29 week mark, and yes, before the baby is born (even early on in the 20-something week) if the baby is head-up it's considered to be in the breech position.

It could be. I know I had a lot of pressure in my pelvis when my guy dropped.
It happens no matter what position theyre in, when they drop into the pelvis its full of pressure.
Malachi was mostly sideways, with his head in a mostly upward position clear up until 33 weeks for me. He just kinda lept head first into my pelvis one night. He even sloshed. Shook the bed. lol. I dont think they consider it really breech until full term, when the baby really runs out of room to move.
I know they werent concerned for me at all with his position. And he surely did turn right around.
Just tell your baby to get ready to be born, and to get his head down. Thats what i did. My little guy jumped right now there a couple days later.

The baby may have moved or may not have moved...pressure is not necessarily a sign of impending labor. Many women feel a lot of pressure on the pelvic floor in the last trimester. When babies turn most likely you will feel a lightning. Your baby will most likely turn after 36 weeks.
Good Luck!

Yes this pain means that your baby is getting in position for delivery, you will also see some more discharge.
