Probably not. A lot of times the pain is due to the vagina stretching out. It streches out to make more room for the baby. Your vagina will strech thoughout the pregancy. It usually is more painful during the second trimester when the baby is growing the fastest. Labor is much more intense and painful.

Labor pains are normally in the abdomen or back area, pains in your vagina are an indication of either a bladder infection or vaginal infection. If you are unsure you should consult with your doctor.

All women have different symptoms during labor and some even feel their contractions in places other than their belly, like their vagina or thighs. Call your primary care provider.

There could be a few reasons this is happening. You may be stressed or anxious about the pregnancy. Or there could be a medical problem. The best thing to do is call your clinic and leave a message for your doctor.

Sharp vaginal pains can be caused by many things. However, this is typically not a sign of labor. If this continues, you should seek medical treatment, as this can be a sign of infection.
