Sharp pains when baby moves (also in 3rd tri board)

I had the most horrific pains (aside from full on contractions, that is) today. The whole thing lasted maybe a 20 minute span, but damn did it hurt! I don't know what LO was doing differently, because normally when he moves it is just uncomfortable. But for some reason today he was really REALLY pushing up on the top of my uterus. Everytime he moved there was a sharp pain. It had me in tears !

I called my MW and she suggested taking a bath to either relax LO (fat chance since he's always more alert and active when I'm in the bath) or relax me enough to calm down. Well, luckily shortly after the bath he stopped and I rested. No need to go in and be seen just to be sent home. I was really hoping that maybe this was a different way to begin my labor, but it wasn't. I guess I'm just happy it stopped, poor DH was ready to stay home from work and get our other kids ready to go to my parents house.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Not me, but I am obsessed with how much she is moving and when.  Every little flinch I think, is this it?.... no.  Hope you stay comfy
