are they contractions

I've been having sharp pains around my belly button along with fighting in my stomach....are these contractions? I never got the chance to feel them with my 1st pregnancy due to having the epidural early

My contractions felt like severe menstrual cramps.

How far along are you? Contractions come and go and you can time how far apart they are. Is this pain constant? My belly button area hurt - dull achy pain- for some days and then stopped. I don't know about sharp pain around the belly button though. Go to your doc or to the ER to rule out hernia. Sorry I can't help much. Good luck
