I got this feeling towards the end of my last pregnancy too. It feels like my baby is scratching my cervix with her fingernails!! Of course I know that's not it, but does anyone have any idea what it is? It can be very uncomfortable at times, but it's not really bothing me ... just curious.
4/5 means engaged, it ranges from 1/5 (just starting to engage down into the pelvis) to 5/5 (fully engaged, head fixed and ready to come out now). Eg, my Little Miss was sitting at 3/5 engaged last friday, and every time she bounces in there her head hits my cervix-area and I get that scratchy feeling, feels like she's trying to calw her way out. I've also been at least 1-2cm dilated for 1 & 1/2 weeks now as well, and the feeling has been stronger since I started dilating.
Sounds like your body may be getting ready for your Little Miss to arrive And good luck with your VBAC too!
Yay!! Thanks guys. I didn't know what 4/5 means, I just saw it in my notes. I didn't think much of it cause I had that written in my notes a couple of months ago, but then it changed back to 'free' and then at the last one it was 4/5 again.
