Too embarassed to ask my doctor this

How soon can you start to feel bubs kicking your cervix?

The last week i have had this terrible pain "down there" and it doesn't go away unless i sit down or lay down. Its very uncomfortable and sometimes quite painful.

I read in another thread about cervix kicks and how they are just that uncomfortable and painful.

Is it too soon for my bubs to be doing that to me?

Any advice is muchly appreciated

I really doubt that it is the baby kicking that is making you feel like that but more likely it is a nerve being pinched - a kick is just that - a kick and the pain from it is fleeting, it doesn't hang around in my experience of it. It could also be your joints starting to relax and not the cervix at all.

at 15w it's unlikely to be kicking causing that much pain, he baby is still small and has plenty room to wriggle. By the time you're 35w though ... look out

Does it make you jump? I used to get that and it sucked!

[~clover~]

I'd say it's probably a nerve too.
Hope it settles soon....Just in time for the real cervical punches & rib kicks probably, lol.

Don't be embarrassed to ask your Dr, you need to feel comfortable with him/her so you can tell them everything that's going on throughout your pregnancy and they can make sure everything's fine with the baby. It's going to get a lot more awkward than this, lol

Is it like a shooting pain? I used to get a shooting pain from around my belly button right down into my groin. I think it was a nerve being pinched but OUCH!! Hurts huh? Hope it goes away!

Feels like im being stabbed up my who ha! I say to DP "down there" hurts and he looks at me weird its only for a short time then it goes away. Could be a pinched nerve but never experienced it and its quite uncomfortable.

lol that's NOTHIN! wait for when the baby gets a foot stuck under your rib that's awesome! Or when they kick so hard you feel like a foot is about to bust out of your hoo hah! it's awesome!

[Lulu]

Yep, knife up the hoo haar. My GF also used to cop it too - we didn't look very pregnant then and people looked at us both very strangely when we kept jumping up and down at a cafe once....

I always though that the baby kicking my cervix could be likened to biting alfoil with a filling. It was a sharp sort of zingy pain and always made me cringe.
I wouldn't think that your bub would be big enough to cause any real pain to your cervix yet. I think you should mention it to your doctor... that is what they are there for.

Ohhh thats something im not looking forward to!!

It does get like that sometimes, specially if im already sitting down and it happens i have to half sit up with a very bad look on my face! LOL my mum once asked what i was doing.. i just said "shhhh"

I might bring it up at my next appointment, thats if i remember i meant to ask about my back at my last and of course only remembered in the car on the way home.. loving this baby brain as well!! lol

Well if you have any questions and you think you will forget them before your next appointment write them down and take it with you when you go that way you wont forget because you often get in there, get carried away talking about other stuff and doing BP checks etc that you walk out of there and think crap! I forgot to ask about that

:yeahthat:

absolutely write yourself a list of things you want to ask. And remember that there is absolutely nothing that you could possibly ask that they haven't heard a thousand times before.

As for what it could be - not sure - but at 15 weeks bubs is sort of like a goldfish in one of those plastic bags that you take home from the pet shop. They can bounce against the edge of the bag and you may feel it but it shouldn't be causing pain.

[kirsty_lee]

Yeah I agree about writing a list. It may sound like a silly question, but like Muppity said it's honestly nothing they haven't heard before. If I learnt anything from my birth with Ava almost 2 years ago, its ask ask ask. QUestion everything and anything you want to. And also do some of your own research too kwim..

You reallllly shouldn't be embarassed about asking your doctor anything - he / she will be peering UP your 'hoo haa' in a few months, so asking a question about a pain in your cervix is nothing. I agree with others who say to keep a list - i have a list on my iPhone that I keep adding to in the month between appointments... Even silly little things, like I've noticed that my temperature is a full degree elevated, and has been for 2 months. I know it's probably normal, but it's always best to get some reassurance

why are you uncomfortable to ask the question? Maybe you could consider a change of care provider, to one you can ask any questions without flinching? It's really important to be open and comfortable with your cp
