    Sever 'belt tightening' pains - possible cause?

    Reborn's been in hospital since this time yesterday, she was having regular severe pains, and I told her to go in, as I was worried she was in labour.

    She was kept in for observation, and is still having the pains, but the docs have no idea why.

    She says it feels like when you've been wearing tight jeans for ages, and you take them off, but you can still feel them around your middle - except its REALLY painful. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I had something similar to this,I thought they were contractions and went to the hospital... after a lot of scratching heads and shoulder shrugs, it turned out to be very bad constipation (VERY embarrasing ) but the midwife said it is actually very common!!
