I remember those "sharp, stabbing" pains. Just your uterus expanding. I remember I started feeling the baby move at about 16 weeks, but it's more like a fluttering sensation, and not painful. The first couple of times, I just thought it was a little gas! :lol

I think everyone here has described labor quite nicely, so I won't add anything other than to say, yes, it hurt like you can't even believe, but when it was over (22 hours from first contraction to birth), I felt like crowing! It was, hands down, the hardest thing I've ever done -- but I did it! I felt like I'd climbed Mt. Everest.
