I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing Braxton Hicks quite a bit lately, so I know what they feel like.
Last week the doctor told me my son was laying across my belly, but since then I have felt him roll a lot, and I can tell he is now head down, because I get softer movements lower and lots of hard kicks up high (He has kicked the right side and low the entire pregnancy until a few days ago).
Last night I got a few bad stomach pains, but I just rubbed my belly until they calmed down adn my Hubby gave me a back rub when they got really bad. Then as I was going to bed, I started getting sharp pains down in my vaginal area. They would be quick and sharp adn seemed to happen at sparatic moments.
Does anyone know what this is?? I still have 9 weeks to go, so I'm hoping it's not the start of pre-term labour, but this is my first pregnancy, so I'm just not sure.
