Wow I remember those sharp pains! Owy huh?! I got those but unfortunatly no labor followed! As far as the bms I don't really know about that.

But my doc told me to just stay off my feet and the pains will subside, I tried and they did fade alittle but came back every now and again, so use it as a good excuse to prop your feet up and watch some tv! Smile

I am -5 days into this pregnancy and I can remember getting those stabbing pains all the way back to 5 months!!! They hurt soooo bad. I think it is just were the baby decides to stretch out and pushes down on those bones causing it to hurt so bad. I had the braxton hicks but not the loose bowel movements. I do know that is what your body does before it goes into labor is empties itself out so maybe, just maybe yours is getting ready, goodluck and let us know what doc says!!!!
Lots of love,
heather and hayley
