I'm 26 weeks and 2 days along and I'm experiencing some lower back pain in between my hips. I'm also having periodical sharp pains in my abdomin but only in once spot though. So my question is is that pain in my abdomin considered menstral like cramping or abdominal cramping.
Also I'm not some dumb @$$ who doesn't know what premature labor signs are my problem is I already have a 2 1/2 year old and he was born at 33 weeks along. I had no idea I was in labor with him when I was 20 weeks along "I was put on bedrest then." And I never felt any of the contractions which they kept saying I was having until the day I went into active labor with him.

I'm not on the phone with my doctor b/c he'll expect me to come in or go to the hospital and I don't feel like waiting around if I'm just worring myself over nothing. I have insurance but still it's a waste of time and money for me to just be going to see a doctor for nothing.

my question is this: why are you on yahoo asking this and not on the telephone with your doctor? he/she knows your history and your present condition and is probably the one who can give you the best answer.
congratulations on the new baby, by the way.

I am going to say that you pulled a round ligament in your abdomen. When I was that far along I had the same thing. It was a sharp pain in the same spot that kept it up for at least a day. It just kept hurting and the doctor and the Emergency room said it was a pulled muscle. Even if you don't do anything you can pull a muscle because they are already pulled so tight.

Do you not have a Doctor? Thats what they do. It sounds the baby is just growing and its starting to suck. Make SURE you are feeling the baby move! Some really scary stuff can happen. Is your pregnancy not considered high risk? Call the doc.

You are at the exact point where ligaments and the like start to really stretch in your hips and pelvis. They can be painful, no doubt, but totally harmless. Get it checked out - better safe than sorry, but it sounds very much like a normal process of pregnancy. Particularly with your previous pregnancy, leave nothing to chance.

I'm 28wks and occasionally I have that crampy feeling that is reminiscent of menstrual cramps. Since you've experienced this before, you should consult your ob to make sure that everything is going okay. Good luck and congrats!
