What is going on with my body?

[~Demeter~]

I woke up this morning with A LOT of pelvic pressure and pain. It hurts so much I can barely sit or stand comfortably now. I guess if I had to say it's probably intensified throughout the day to the point where I realize we use those muscles a lot more than we notice. I've had some contractions at regular intervals throughout the day and my mom (who's been with me all day) thinks I'm in labor. I have no freaking clue to be honest and I refuse to call the doctor or go in to the hospital unless I know for sure that I'm really in labor. SO tell me does it sound like anything to any of you? :

Well, sounds like early early early stuff, to be honest. It totally wouldn't hurt to call your dr and get his advice though, that's what we are paying them for! I bet you also used those muscles a lot scrubbing and cleaning yesterday, don't forget about that. So yes, sounds like you are experiencing some early labor stuff coupled with some heavily used muscles from yesterday's floor cleaning.

Call your dr if you want - he won't think your nuts!

I agree with bd...lots of exercise always makes my pelvis painful the next day. Also, try extra pillows between your knees when you sleep...I know when I add more, it takes some pain away...

It's a totally different pain than psd, it's not really my pelvic bone it's inside. It's very difficult for me to describe. I started having more regular contractions just a bit ago... not sure it means much of anything really.
