    I've been getting these period like pains for the past few weeks, a few times a day and more recently I've been getting the sharp pains, feels like they are in my cervix, I wasw told they were BH and the sharp pains i'm assuming is bubs head engaging. Go and get checked by your doc if your worried and also considering your history.

    My doctor is an hour away, but my midwife is just around the corner. She can probably check me out if I need her to, rather than travel over an hour.
    I know that the pains aren't bub's head engaging because bub is in breech and has been forever.

    If the pains get too bad tonight, and they seem to be getting more annoying, especially now that I'm getting pains in my vagina... I'll go see my midwife.
    Otherwise I'll see her tomorrow.
    I know, tho, that if I go see her that she'll most likely send me on to my doctor. And then I may have to go on to Melbourne (I have to have bub at the Royal Womens- 450km away) if he is concerned.

    I'm a bit scared, to be honest.

    It could be that baby has moved from breech and the pains you are getting are from him/her adjusting to a new position. However as PP's have said any pain like this it is important to get checked out by a midwife.

    Yeah, I'll try and get on to her tonight.
    And bub is still in breech. I can feel his/her head right near my belly button. Where it always is, lol.

    I've just clicked who you are, I've been following your story about your baby's medical condition. Hopefully you can see the midwife soon and be reassured
