It's really got nothing to do with stress, though I have heard they can be worse if you are dehydrated. These are not contractions. Contractions are timed, consistent, and get worse with time. If walking hurts, I'd try a warm bath and drink water, juice, or like gatoraid. If you can time them, my Dr says less than 7 minutes apart or more than 10 an hour. If your worried, call your Dr or the hospital.

Im 28 weeks and been feeling these pains since my second trimester. Doctor says its perfectly normal its just the baby and body getting ready for labor. I usually feel this only when trying to change sides meanwhile laying down or trying to get up. I walk it off or rub where it hurts.

My doctor told me that sharp shotinq pains that qo to your vaqina or towards your back are contractions and they can cause dilation , if you have more then 6 every two hours then you can be qoinq into labor it would be good if you time them , but everybody's bodie is different

I'm 27 weeks and 6 days. I started feeling that a couple days ago. My gyn said it was completely normal. It's just a shooting pain that goes straight down to your vag. It's very uncomfortable. I don't think it's contractions

Usually the round ligament pain ive been feeling this far has been in my sides not my vagina

Round ligament pain is a shooting pain in your vagina that comes randomly. Walking is supposed to help. It's just the body preparing for labor and you can get it anytime during pregnancy.

I don't think its contractions cause my belly isn't tightening?
