bub on cervix *TMI* pls don't judge

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 :hug: It was weird, that's for sure! It happened to me mostly at night when I lay in a certain position.

I'd rather that than some of the more annoying late pregnancy weirdness. Can't say it's happened to me, but I wouldn't worry about it too much :hug:

The pressure on the cervix (from what little I understand) would probably be Spock (sooo excited that you're so close!).

As for the dreams? I'm 29+4 and getting lots of them. Very sexy dreams. But, have no desire to DTD IRL, lol. :)

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 ;)

i had *awkward* dreams throughout pregnancy, not related to bubs position though. ds didn't engage til labour.

Am I allowed to say, I'll have what she's having?

Nothin to bE embarrassed about IMO

that sounds awesome!

Its not just the dreams... Ill be pottering around the house and getting an enjoyable sensation.. Not to climax tho thats only happening in my dreams.


sent via my vortex manipulator!

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 :)

Honey- I wouldn't be embarrassed at all! I would much prefer what you're having to the pains I'm experiencing. I say enjoy!!!!

Climax... whats that?? Can I have one?

:lol: I haven't gotten that far in my pregnacy dreams, but have come close. I think the frustration woke me up each time.

Yep to it all! You are no stranger than the rest, at least in that dept ;) hehe!
xx

is it going to get stronger? itms... because I'm pretty sure Spock is only just starting to bounce on it atm... what am I to expect when bub fully engages and is sitting on it all the time?

Try not to brag? Lol ;)

Double post

Michel Odent has written some interesting things on this topic, the most recent one I read being his book "the functions of the orgasm". He theorises that sexual pleasure during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding is fairly common but not spoken about because of the social stigma of connection sexual pleasure with childbearing. I say enjoy it :)

see thats why I was hessitant to post it... because of the whole ...i'm getting off on my baby sort of thing smakes me feel unsure. I obviously want to embrace it though, like others have said, better than the alternative ;) but it's still making me uneasy... like I have to make the conscious decision to go with it rather than avoid/ignore/fight it (like it is currently still an effort as such to give into it and enjoy it, rather than than feel ashamed)

You're not getting off on your baby. You're having a physiological response. It's natural and normal. Don't feel ashamed.

I understand that T. but really, I think we're all jealous :)
I hope this means you'll have a fabulous birth!

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!

I have crazy s3x dreams (and a HUGE libido) when Im pregnant!
When DD was engaged it wasnt painful, but it was uncomfortable.

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 :lol: 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.

ha ha ha, T!!

I feel your pain! or ... pleasure ... ?

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 ;)

Thanks girls. I guess because none of the women I have cared for have asked me about it, I was unsure what I was experiencing.

Right before Miss A was born she was sitting fairly low and I also got this sensation. I felt weird for having it. It was painful, but a pleasant pain iykwim? She was teeny for a 29weeker, so didn't get it all the time, only when I was laying down...

Gotta admit I'm a teensy bit jealous wish it was that easy for me :P

It was the best part of pregnancy with DD :) It didn't happen with DS though unfortunately, I kept waiting and waiting for it!

I also found that after delivering DS vaginally (DD was a c-section), BDing is even better than before! Maybe it is down to increased sensitivity, I am not sure, but I am def not complaining ;)

I had the dreams too :) Didn't find pottering around the house as pleasurable as you though :p Like N2L said try not to brag :lol:
