I had two really sharp pains in my belly whilst i was vacumming early about 5 minutes apart each lasting literally a few seconds then they were gone again. I have lots of pain in my left hip today too.

I don't know what they are supposed to feel like as this is my first pregnancy.

    hi there,
    they're probably different for everyone but mine are more uncomfortable than painful. My whole bump goes really hard, and it kind of spreads across - almost feels as if the baby is pushing his back against it if you see what i mean. usually last less than a minute.
    hope that helps! how far along are you? could just be baby pressing on things?!

    I've been wondering this. Sometimes my belly goes really tight & hard and I wonder if that's it? It's usually if I've been walking the dogs for ages, feels a bit like a stitch! x
