Ahhh love those stabbing shooting pains with the tightning of the stomach...Wow, good times!

good times? do you want mine then?
lol at least theyre not painful!

lol NO TAHNKS ...i was being utterly sarcastic ! haha

i've been getting those a few times too. mine are painful sometimes.

lol i knew you were being sarcastic haha. i hope i dont get many more of them. lets hope mine doesnt get painful. wont be looking forward to that!

Well, for me they got really uncomfortable towards the end. i couldn't climb a flight of steps or walk for more than 5 minutes without having a few contractions. I guess it is really true that every pregnancy differs.

I had them a few times, but mine weren't really painful.

I hope they go away soon!

mine were kind of painful because i carried so far out. i always had to stop what i was doing and lean on something because it felt like a bowling ball in my stomach and it would just get so heavy when i had those bh contractions. ah, memories....

ive been getting it a few times today. but ive not been worrying about it too much. my sciatica has been too painful. couldnt even play with william half the time. i had to lay on the couch

I can definitely sympathize about the sciatica! Some days are worse than others but the bad days are REALLY bad(to the point of, "I SERIOUSLY CANNOT get up!*tear*"). My braxton-hicks feel like painless cramps...just really annoying!

Hey i'm 37 and a half weeks and im starting to get them and getting nurvouse becouse i don't want to end up at teh hospital every two mintues thinking im in labor did alot of other pepole have alot of false labors becouse i have already ben to the hospital once...

what in the world do they feel like?!? I'm 34wks today and I think I've had one... and that was yesterday. It was actually painful, but everyone describes them as 'painless cramps', as care_free so eloquently put.

Newbaby, as long as your water doesn't break, call the hospital first. I know my hospital likes you to labor at home for as long as possible before actually going in. good luck!
