I have been having a sharp pain on the right side of my belly. My mom thinks they are contractions but they only hurt in that one area. I also have back labor and the baby hasn't moved positions. What could it be?

Actually, sharp pains are not contractions. Contractions are like waves or hills of pain, beginning in the back and then working their way towards your belly button. They are very distinct and have a definite incline/decline to them. This doesn't sound like contractions...it sounds like ligament pain, and sciatic nerve pain inyour back. Unless they get as I described...save a trip to the hospital and the disappointment of getting sent home. Sorry....not quite yet!































edit to add that you will feel it like a band of pain around you....so not just on one side...both sides equally.
