3rd Trimester
Sharp pains when baby moves
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?

Re: Sharp pains when baby moves
I have a ridiculously high threshold for pain, with my DD I didn't even go to the hospital until I was fully dilated. But tonight, oh my god tonight I had shooting pains that took me to my KNEES! I still don't feel "right" and I haven't got a clue what it was/is???
DH is ready for the hospital but I'm still trying to feel it out. This feels totally different then when I was in labor last time
