Hi - I'm getting the same pains too. A terrible, shock-like electric pain that shoots from my cervix all the way down my thighs. Following that my uterus tightens up and I get bad lower back pain followed by cramps. This has been happening numerous times each day (not in a pattern) for nearly two months now.

My doctor says the baby should be coming this weekend. If not, I'll be induced on Wednesday. I think what's happening is the pre-labour?? But the pain is debilitating and sometimes feels worse than a normal contraction.

Good luck with it all ladies!
