Q: Contraction Pain...

Well i've been having regular and irregular contractions on and off since last night (last night I was having 2-3 an hour, and today I was having some regular ones at 13 mins apart, but then they kind of stopped) but I had one that felt kind of different then the other ones...I got kind of a stabbing pain from my navel down to my vagina and then my vagina felt kind of tingly and numb is that normal?

Ahaha I hope she is too! I've had contractions on and off since last night...They were really regular yesterday night I was getting about 2-3 an hour for several hours...And then about 1:30 am they kinda just stopped so I went to bed, and then I didn't really get anymore until about 10:30 this afternoon but they were random...And then about 6:30 I had several at 13 minutes apart and then it jumped to 6 and then it started going all random!! Ahhh! It's so frusterating!! Lol I just want her to come out now! I love being pregnant but these are mind games I tell you! Lol, it wouldn't be bad if I had never dilated and didn't have any contractions, but this is just silly...I just want my water to break lol.

Oh yes and I am also 70.8 kilos...Haha which I think works out to be 155-156 pounds...But I am not sure. 2 weeks ago I think I was about 152 pounds. So average weight gain...I think I was about 124 or so before I got pregnant. It's all baby too, but sadly I am starting to get stretch marks and they're getting quite nasty :(. Ah well.

Kimmeh if the contractions last longer than two hour and your having more than 4 go in for your safety I didnt have regular contractions at all with cameron they were jumping all over the place till I was well into active/ transitional stage. I had cam out in 6 mins and if ur going natural they come out alot faster cause u can feel it just be carful and keep a phone around incase u need to call an ambulance

take care ~hugz~

Hehe you guys are worse worry warts then me! My contractions when they get regular only last a few seconds and come ever half hour or 13 minutes...And they don't hurt that bad. I talked to my doctor about it, and especially about that weird one I had, and she said that was fine, and as long as I wasn't bleeding with it then she wasn't worried. She said it sounded like a pinched nerve.
