    Default The onset of labor?

    I am 35 weeks tomorrow and i have been having these sharp shooting pains down there. now they aren't like the normal ones by the legs but in the center of everything. I feel like most the day and it's difficult to walk. Could I be going into labor early? Anyone else feel this before?

    It could be your pelvis spreading and getting ready.

    Have you lost your plug? Dropped? Has your Dr said if you've softened at all?

    I had these and they are not comfortable. I couldn't lay on my side without being in tears because it hurt so bad. I had to shove pillows between my legs to keep them spread apart.

    2 weeks ago the dr. said i was 1 cm and 60 % effaced already. as for the baby dropping i'm not sure but a friend commented this morning if the baby drops any more that she'll be popping right out!

    Hmmm, not sure... In my experience, I knew when the contractions started because it was like nothing I've ever experienced.

    When is you next Dr's appt? Maybe at least call and talk to the nurse...

    I would say Lana is on the money. Contractions are like no other kind of pain/pressure.
