*Possibly TMI* Talking about my hoohaa!

Hi Ladies,

I have been getting cramps in my tummy and back every now and then over the past week which I assume is braxton hicks but the last few days every now and then my vagina has been feeling crampy , hard to explain, not experienced this kind of feeling before but it feels like a crampy ache in my cervix.
Does this make sense to anyone?
Have you experienced it?
What is it haha?

Thanks Ladies

i get like a shooting pain every now and then down there, dunno wat it is but lol. i guess everything just stretching and gettin ready

[Babyluv]

Mmm yea i'm getting the shooting pains too, SPD kind of pain but this is more achy, crampy my lower back aches too and I feel like there is alot of pressure down there.

Bubs could be pushing down and starting to engage?
There is a LOT going on down there that needs to be stretched and moved, i always felt like my pelvic bone was aching... OUCH

[Babyluv]

Ahhhh ok yea that makes sense. Is 30wks too early for her to engage?
It feels similar to AF like cramps but more in my cervix sort of area.

They take some time to work their way down, sometimes it feels like they are headbutting you... hehe

Thanks Zarava,

I do kind of feel as though i've got a bowling ball stuck in my pelvis, maybe this is where the achyness is coming from

yelp have had shooting pain and that pressure/cramping feeling. Sometimes i feel like i need to walk around with my hand down there to 'hold everything in"

Nice....one of the joys of pregnancy

My DS was head down and engaged at 28wks... in the 5 position or whatever they call it lol, basically the first stage I think...

Always felt like I had a bowling ball stuck between my legs too, and my pelvis ached every day... it was painful to walk, sit down, stand up and even lie down.
