i was jus walkin down the hall to the bedroom and i had this really weird pain downstairs.. was a one off quick sharp pain.. honestly it felt as if something was gonna come out of my hoohah!! i wasnt carrying anything heavy.. jus a few folded clothes.. only lasted a second or so.. havent had any other pains at all before and since it happened.. freaked me out.. any thoughts??
i have heard you feel a kind of "thud" feeling when the baby drops but im pretty sure it wasnt that.. he still feels pretty high..
I've had the same sharp pains in my hoohaa, not all the time, only occasionally but it also coincides with a heavy pressure feeling down really low, think it's bub moving down.
For me it felt like something poking through my cervix into my hoohaa. It would make me stop and take a sharp breath. I got it several times a day from about 34 weeks. People would look at me funny - I guess wondering if I was going into labour.
Turns out my DS was born with his hand up beside his head (and had probably been very comfortable in this position for a long time in utero), so I reckon I got the pain when he was streching his arm out/up/down (iykwim).
I found I got it more when I was walking, so maybe try making sure you are getting some rest.

Sounds like your cervix ripening. Was it an electric type shock? I got them increasingly often from 35 weeks. Its a great sign your body is getting ready for labour.
My DD was also born with her hands near her face, so I think sometimes my pains were her little fingers (she popped my waters we think too...cheeky monkey!)
