ok...It has taken me a while to get up the nerve to even post this. 1) because, well being a midwife I feel stupid asking questions when I explain stuff to women all the time, I guess it is different when its yourself. and 2) its kind of... well embarressing? it shouldn't be, but I feel it is a bit of a taboo topic and i'm hoping that you girls won't judge, or think negitivly about me or anything...
maybe I should put a warning in the title?
but ok, firstly a question. I'm currently 36 weeks, carrying low, but over the last few days I have felt a sharpness inside my vagina. I expect this is Spock moving down and even starting to put pressure on my cervix?? It's not painful, but I can deffinently feel something down there, like a heat I guess...it is sharp and becomes more intense when I also feel Spock kick. That would be Spock's head on my cervix right?
now for the ...unsure bit... it is actually at times pleasurable. and the last few nights I've been having...nice dreams. Might aswell just say wet dreams. Wet dreams aren't new to me, but normally only assossiated with actual sexy dreams, like making out with someone etc... But the last few nights I've been having them more than once a night, and randomly in my dreams. Like my dreams aren't sexy, infact just last night I was packing shelves or something and stopped mid pack of a can of something to have a ...well you know the wet bit.
I don't know where I'm really going with this. I guess just want to know if there has been anyone else who has experienced this... I've only ever heard of women who complain for sharp pain. this is far from pain, but it is sharp and intense.
Yup. I'll stand by you and admit that happened to me It was weird, that's for sure! It happened to me mostly at night when I lay in a certain position.
I've certainly had the sharp pains - feels like someone is stabbing me in the cervix - over the last few weeks off and on. Bubs is obviously moving position and sometimes its more painful than others. Can't say I've had the added fun you're experiencing with them though, although I remember with DD1 I had some particularly enjoyable dreams
Have you watched Orgasmic Birth? I know we're talking "orgasmic pregnancy" here but it's very related. I like the way they discuss how pregnancy and birth is all part of a woman's sexuality. It's okay and perfectly normal for you to enjoy and experience the same range of sexual responses during pregnancy and birth as you do during intercourse.
Who knows how the sensations will continue... as spock moves you may find the feeling goes away rather than gets more intense. Maybe keep unpacking these feelings and release yourself to the sensation. You may be one of the lucky women who gets to orgasm during birth!
I didn't feel what you're describing (just the full on sexy dreams), but another mother from my playgroup did. We were pregnant at the same time and she talked about almost having orgasms from baby's position... I was so jealous She also almost orgasmed during birth but stifled the feeling as she didn't like her attending midwife and didn't feel comfortable enough with her in the room.
I always associated the sharp pains with the cervix beginning to thin a bit. Have you read anything about orgasmic childbirth? You might be an awesome person to really engage with the concept
I only realised after giving birth that the sharp sensations I had from 39 weeks were actually contractions. I am always more sensitive sexually during pg, but not quite as intense as you! Sounds like your body is warming up. In more ways than one!
So excited for you, you're going to give birth soon!
DS1 had this very cheeky trick of kicking or headbutting me *right* in the cervix at inopportune times ... like, at work! in the middle of a meeting or a presentation, I'd suddenly have this oh so wrong sensation ... and it feels ... nice ... but not the kind of nice you want to be getting from your son!
'cause let's get real, it's like very deep penetration ... but from the other side ... !
so yes, yes it happens. oh yes.
and yes, it feels completely inappropriate, given *who* is causing it.
but there's obviously nothing wrong with it, and there's nothing much you can do about it.
they don't mean it, you're not seeking it, and hey, it gives you an *awesome* potential story to embarrass the pants of your kid at their 18th birthday party!!
as with so many other odd preggo symptoms, you've just got to go with the flow
bub on cervix *TMI* pls don't judge
