I’m 37w 2D and early this morning around 5:30am i woke up with lower pressure in my belly like i needed to pee, except when i stood up from the bed i immediately got shooting stabbing pains from my belly button all the way down to my hoochie, all over.

The pain lasted from the time it took me to wobble to the bathroom and then like 15 more seconds sitting on the toilet. It was so bad i felt like i couldn’t breathe and i couldn’t even call for my husband. My stomach was rock hard also.

Is this was contractions feel like?!? I thought it was supposed to be more of a menstrual pain intense cramping.
