I am now expierencing pains in my stomach and my vagina. Its like sharp pains. I have been having tons of braxton contractions like crazy and they hurt alot now. When I use to have them they didnt hurt. Is this normal. I also have lots of pressure like the baby is pushing down. I was told by a friend that it could be premature labor. Please let me know if any of this is normal. Thanks

Pregnancy Pains
Hi when I read ur posting ? That was my last one~i had a lot of vagina pains and what it felt like bad cramps I was in the beginning of my 7th month and 3 days later a beautiful boy!!!! My back had really hurt so I didn't even realize what it was by the time I thought man we should maybe go in I was less than 5min apart and in a ambulance headed for a bigger hospital~my 1st one I hardly had any pains.So I wasn't sure.Ooh and I couldn't sit down it felt like I was sitting on a ball!!

So have you asked your doc?

Pain
No I havent talked to my midwife about it but I go see her on wednesday. I plan in mentioning it to her. With my first daughter I never had any problems. I didnt feel pregnant the whole time with her. Another question I have is and I hope u dont think this is stupid but how do u know if ur water has broke? Is there a discoloration? I had to have my water broke with my first because I was induced. I was so out of it that I didnt even feel it.

Pain~liz
Hi hi
my 1st water was a rupture (29 weeks along) it was like I was having to go but it wouldn't stop mad rush in and had her 4 days later she spent
a month anda half in the nicu the next one the doc broke and man it gushed out it was like someone poured a bucket of warm water on my legs~ it was a little ting of color but almost clear and the rest came fast that time and I was 61/2 weeks early.So if it breaks it comes out pretty fast I think if it's a tear it is slow like your peeing.

And no ? Is dumb to ask that how we learn!!!
