Question about sharp pain

in January 2012 Moms
I have noticed that sometimes when I empty my bladder (especially in the middle of the night) I have a hard time walking afterwards because there is a sharp pain down there that lasts usually 10-30 seconds and I have to brace myself. Is this a contraction or what? I only feel it after I empty my bladder and it doesn't happen every time I empty it. Yesterday I wasn't really dilated but she said I am about ready to lose the mucous plug. Could that be the pain I am feeling?  I don't go to the doctor again until the end of next week, so it would be nice to have other's advice or opinions.

    i get it too...i've chalked it up to a bruised and battered bladder and RLP doesn't happen consistently enough for me to even remember to mention it to doc

    I get it too.  In fact I have sharp pains pretty much every time I go from a laying down to standing up position.  And the other day I felt like I was in labor for about 20 minutes but I THINK it was just the baby hanging out on a nerve down there or something.

    Depends on what you mean by "down there." If it is a very specific location, it might just be your LO readjusting now that your empty bladder has opened up a little more space. If you get it most often in when you go in the middle of the night, your bladder may just be extra full. I feel a constant pain where my little guy is resting his head on my right side, and if I hold going to the bathroom for too long, I am definitely more aware of it once I go.

    If it's truly debilitating, don't be afraid to call your doc's office. I have the option of leaving a message for my doc (which is usually returned by a nurse) if I have questions, or I can talk directly to a nurse or doctor on call if I call and the receptionist feels it's urgent enough.
