It could be a number of things. Have you been constipated? Your uterus could be stretching. Are they coming at regular intervals or what? I have been having contractions for about 10 weeks now and have had labor stopped. My contractions for the most part feel like really bad menstrual cramps and my stomach gets really hard. If you're doing anything like that more than 4 times an hour I would go in to L&D to be checked out.

that's good to know. I'm always afraid I'm going into premature labor and that kinda helps with it. My stomach went hard today and was definitely feeling like cramps all day. Thank you! Good luck with everything, I'm really happy for you that they've held it off this long!

sounds like it could be many things
as long as your not bleeding its ok

that's what I'm always worried about... it's actually nice having to go to the bathroom every hour and checking for blood, I'm just so paranoid at this point...

but yes, there are NUMEROUS things that can make your abdomen hurt, even if you are not pregnant.

it is like a cocnstant for like and hour than it will stop and start again it weent for and hour eariler then stoped until about an hour ago then started again.. a friend of mine said it could be her dropping or me dialating but i have not lost my mucus plug yet that i know of....

you cant feel yourself dialeting that has notthing to do with cramps
it could be braxton hicks which is normal also. it could also be ligament streching. it could also be that you have to poop

you can feel your self dialeting my doctor even said that you can at first sometimes.. it just feels like you shooved a tampon up there to far and its very un comfortable but you can feel it... its not a poop feeling i know that much it is to constant.. i think its is her getting ready to drop...

dialteing doesnt feel like cramps though
it might be her dropping but that even shouldnt feel like cramps
that feels like a pressure

for some people it does.. i am a bigger girl naturally anyway so it could feel like cramps.. they say when she is proparing to drop like her rotating and such that it is more than likely going to feel like cramps but thats because of the fact that i am bigger anyway.. cause my friend cilia said the same thing happened to her with both of her kids and shes bigger and yet her sister whom is like a size 5 and has had 3 kids it didnt do that they were told it was because of the diffrence in their natural size..
