    What is this sharp pain
    Ok so as of last Monday I was 3 cm and 50 effaced and have been contracting for the past two weeks.
    But today I have a really sharp pain in my lower abdomen when I walk, it almost knocks me down.
    I'm worried that I may dialate fast being this is my third time around and I am an hour away from the hospital.
    COuld this be the baby moving further down and my cervix dialating and opening more?
    Thanks

    I know you said it was in your lower abdomen, how low? It couldn't possibly be appendicitis could it? When I had it, it was worse when I stood up.

    Crystal,

    Most likely it is the hormone called Relaxin relaxing your cervix. You should however, contact your doctor to be sure he does not want to see you.
