    Arte - it was breech 2.5 weeks ago but I've had some seriously weird and quite uncomfortable pains since then so it's possible it's turned. I do feel like I have a head between me legs too (so swollen!) but I wouldn't have guessed it to be breech at my last OB appt so I think my judgement sucks

    Helle - I've had the tickling but annoying sensation on my cervix which I've assumed is either feet or hands (gross!) but this is really different. It's really sharp and not really constant, just a big BAM of sharp stabbing pain, usually without warning. Ouchies!

    I get this, my Ob said it is headbutting (or some other part) of the cervix. Not a very fun feeling, sends the electric shock thing right through your body, I've yelped a few times because it definitely catches you off guard! I'm 32w and bub has been head down for a while, DD was the same and had the same fun feelings... my bubs seem to prepare early (DD arrived at 38w though on the dot).

    I had this with DS1 - was told by doc that it was the little fella getting comfy and making his way down.

    Hey Taurean
    ive had this to on and off again for the last week. I assumed it was stretching and so forth, but i also find it stops me for a few seconds! hopefully it is just things moving along!

    It'll be either a head or a foot/bum.

    Fingers crossed its the babe's head getting nestled down into position.

    I got the same thing with both DD's. Its not a pleasant feeling, i know!
