At week 33, your baby is about 15 to 17 inches and 4 to 4.5 pounds. The baby continues to pack on the pounds as your due date approaches.

Pressure 

At 33 weeks pregnant, pressure in the pelvis could be a sign. Labour contractions usually cause discomfort or a dull ache in your back and lower abdomen.
