Nallie answered Sunday January 15 2006, 1:55 am: Actually the first answer is more correct--than the one from the person who said it was 'crap'.
Let me clarify:
If someone is pregnant, obviously they won't have pain when ovulating. So forget about that answer.
False labor or (braxton hicks) contractions are not normally noticeable until the last two months of pregnancy. Women who have had one or more pregnancies are more likely to feel braxton hicks.
Any woman who is having "cramping" during pregnancy should see their Dr immediatly. There may be other causes of the pain, such as a bladder infection, intestial problems...etc. But early labor or threatened miscarriage should be ruled out.
Labor can start well before the amniotic sack (or bag of water) has ruptured.
Labor pains are typically felt in the entire lower portion of the abdomen sometimes radiating from or to the lower back.

I am concerned if you are having cramps at all during your pregnancy you should consult your doctor or health clinic. please don't wait too long the baby or your life can depend on it.

Vexxia answered Saturday January 7 2006, 5:53 am: Both of your previous answers are crap!!! If your feel pain in your abdomen, then it's one of 4 things. First, every month when you ovulate, the ovary that your egg comes from will ache. When you have your period you prepare lining for carrying a baby. You release a number of eggs, but only from one ovary per cycle. So the pain should switch from one to the other each month. I have bad ovary pain from ovulating, which includes the cramps. 2, it might just be cramping, which happens when your body is doing a lot of work in one area, during your period, or when you are running...etc. This generates heat. Internal heat and sluffing creates toxins which makes muscles cramp. 3, you may have an inflamation of your pancreas, stomach issues, a backed up bowel or other problems. 4, when you are pregnant a lot of women suffer discomfort, while others do not. It could happen a month after conception. Such as, some women have morning sickness, others have none. I would be curious to know how old you are, what kind of birth control you are on, when you last had sex etc. in order to properly answer this question. I'm Vexxia on Advicenators, feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions or would like to talk about the situation further. [ Vexxia's advice column | Ask Vexxia A Question ]
HOPLESSxROMNTC answered Saturday January 7 2006, 2:04 am: They are called contractions =]
You get them after your water breaks and your ready to actually have the baby. So in the ninth month. They start out only a little but get worse the closer you are to having the baby.
