For those 30+ weeks (Warning- TMI)...
Last week the doctor said that the pain I am feeling is ligament pain. It feels like someone is taking a knife and jabbing it in my privates (sorry TMI). So last night, I get this pain again only this time more intense, in the same place and on the sides of my abdomen. It lasted a few minutes then came back an hour later. So being that I was in pain and exhusted I go to bed at 10ish and slept on and off all night because of the ligament pain. Is this normal? Is anyone else getting this? I am such a baby and was almost crying because it was so painful. DH thinks I should have called the doctor last night but I don't want to call over every little thing. I feel like such a wimp if these are normal pains.
How am I going to make it through L & D? Even with an epidural, you still feel pain until they can giive it to you.
What are your thoughts/suggestions? Thanks ladies! 
UPDATED: I called the doctor and he said that if this happens more than four times in a hour after I lay down, to come in.
Apparently this is the baby's head pressing on my cervix this happens when I am sitting and then I stand, at night when I move around in my sleep, or when I walk sometimes and these are normal pains. Basically any movement can trigger it. So they want DH to "time" them tonight after I am laying down. The doctor also said that these pains can sometimes be worse than labor pains and I am not a whimp. 
I feel a lot better now. I just wanted to post an update for everyone else who might be feeling these pains as well.

I haven't had these symptoms but I wanted to send you some I hope you feel better soon.
I know how you feel about coping with pain. I am the same way when it comes to pain, a big baby! That's why the thought of L & D is really starting to scare me, especially with me getting so close to my due date.

I have been getting that for the past 2 weeks or so, plus I have a constant burning sensation in my left upper thigh, all of which the doctor said is normal and I can't do anything for.

Re: For those 30+ weeks (Warning- TMI)...
Yes Im having this happen too - but I thought it was the baby - she is in position and head down and moving a lot - feels like she is head butting me down there and it hurts - but it feels like little electric shocks that make me bend over and literally yelp "Ouch!" sometimes. Maybe it was ligament pains Ive been feeling - but yeah feels like someone is sticking me with a knife or something.

I don't have the same type of pain; mine is more like I've been riding a horse for hours. Things get so stiff and sore up in there that I have a lot of trouble walking, and rolling over in my sleep is VERY painful. It's not every day though thank goodness.

Thank you ladies!
Knowing some of you are feeling the same things, sets my mind at ease somewhat.

Re: For those 30+ weeks (Warning- TMI)...
I have been feeling like this for the past 2 days. I have so much pain down there. I am trying to deal with it. I know it's because my baby is lower and putting a lot of pressure down there. I am trying to rest as much as I can to relieve the pain.
Don't worry you are not alone

While they're "normal" pains, it doesn't mean they hurt less. If you break an arm, the pain is normal for a broken arm too but still hurts a lot. It's a completely different type of pain. For me stabbing pains were a lot more painful & sharper than actually labor pains. Mainly because I wasn't prepared for them, they would just hit me. With labor pains, you can actually just breathe through them because it comes in peaks & valleys. In fact DH would tell me when I reached the peak so I knew it would be over in a minute and I would have a minute to rest before the next one.
I can't speak to feeling pain with an epidural since I never had one, but from what I've heard you don't feel anything but pressure & need to be told when to push.
Hope this helps.

Re: For those 30+ weeks (Warning- TMI)...
I am 28 weeks and have been feeling alot of presure ... sometimes i get stabbing pain, sharp enough to take notice but only lasts for a few seconds.
the pressure doesn't feel like i wanna push but it feels like he's gonna srop out! it's so weird to describe, my dr said it was normal, but its a very odd sensation.
i thought the sharp pain was from not having enough fluids, but it probably is just stretching
hope you feel better
