Q: What's This?

I get these shooting pains around my vagina and bum hole. Like inbetween the two of them I think? Anyways, they make it hurt to walk and sometimes, like this morning, i'll get one so bad I cringe and stiffen all up.

So what are these? What would you describe braxton hicks as feeling like since I have no idea if i've had them, or what they are ment to feel like, or even when you are suppose to get them. ? Sorry for knowing so little. Embarassed

Braxton hicks.. Feels like pressure... Your stomach gets really tight... And feels like a rock... I don't think what you are experiencing are braxton hicks...

Im not sure...Can they be different for everyone? I had braxton hicks low down, like small sharp spasms/shooting pains, other times it was higher up, not at the back though...If I remember right.
