my baby keeps balling up in one spot. It hurts very badly and for several days i have been having severe sharp pains and a feeling of pressure. it also hurts so badly in the middle of the night when i have to pee that i cant even stand up straight to walk into the restroom. a week ago i was only dialated to 1 cm, is there maybe something i can do to help this pain or is it because im dialating?

Like the most severe period cramps you could ever imagine.

i have had two different kinds of contractions. back labor felt like a back cramp (really low) that really didn't seem to "go away" but intensified every once in a while (i never "timed it" because i thought it was a back-ache.... but there MAY have been a pattern to it... i'll never know now).
the second kind of contraction felt like a STRETCHING that started at my belly button and wrapped around to both of my sides. THOSE were the obvious kinds and there WAS a pattern to them right away.
it sounds to me, by what you are discribing, that the baby is just moving around BUT remember all of these pains that you are experiencing is getting your body prepared for the big day!
you can take regular Tylenol (says my doctor) for the pains and pressure... it does take some of the edge off.
BEST of luck to you on the big UPCOMING day!

It's different in everyone - with my first, I had Braxton hicks contractions, and they were similar to what you described. Real contractions were the most agonizing pain I'd ever felt in my life. With number two, I didn't even know I was in labor - I thought the mexican food I ate for lunch was giving me gas pains! lol Best advice I could give you is to check with your dr. As hard as it is, try to get some rest, relax, maybe take a warm bath or shower.

Contractions feel like somebody taking a very wide hot belt and wrapping it around your belly and squeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing the heck out of your stomach with the belt, making intense pressure and pain.

contraction feels like an exploding bomb in your tummy. It hurts so bad! It is 1000X painful than normal menstrual cramps

its like the worst cramp you could imagine, your stomach should tighten and you will feel pressure down there when you are really contracting. It can start around your back and wrap around
