I've had the shooting pains from my crutch to my stomach with all three of my pregnancies. They are really sharp and still shock me when I get them now but completely normal
All I can describe contractions as are like an unbelievable tightening around your belly which also goes to the top of your legs. However this time I am determind to do it without an epidural so if I'm braving it they can't be that frightening
