by the way i think i have been getting these every few days or so, usually only one, and less than 30 seconds each. it seems most common when i am walking quickly though, so it might just be a regular muscle cramp.
i will curse myself for saying this, but if that is a taste of what labor has in store, i am not worried at all. it's different than a menstrual cramp, but i can see why some people equate them. for me menstrual cramps (aka torture) are like my insides being run through a meat grinder...it weakens my whole body with agony from the crunching, ripping, twisting sensations. this was like my uterus was tightening with a little bit of strain; a more acute feeling but not what i would call pain. so much more benign. even if they get a million times worse i don't see contractions matching the hell i go through every month. that's comforting.
