I wouldn't describe my discomfort as a stitch. Mine is more like heavy pressure in the pubic area and also period like pain. I am under the impression that a contraction will feel like Braxton Hicks (being the tightness all over) as well as pain that can be similar to period pain. But this is my first time so I am not sure either. I can't wait to see my Obs next week and quiz him on this.
