3rd Trimester

Is this normal?

  For the past couple of weeks I have had an increase in vaginal pain. Not sharp pains just a sort of ache. I am at 30 weeks so I thought increased hormones and baby position might be the cause. Also when I laugh I have to clench because I feel as if I am about to have an accident. I meant to ask my doctor last visit but got distracted by other questions. Thanks for the help!

Re: Is this normal?

  • I'd call it normal, but it's worth mentioning to your doctor.  They can make sure it's not a yeast infection or urinary tract infection.  In general though, baby is getting cramped by this point.  If you feel a lot of hiccups very low, it's probably the baby.

  • i think that is normal.  i've felt a little of that too.  maybe the baby starting to make its way down.  as long as you don't have any bleeding, i think you are ok.  if it will make you feel better, call your drs office to let them know.  good luck!

  • I would get pains down there, they were sharp and achy. My midwife told me it was probably the baby pressing on my sciatic nerve. I think it is normal. You should still mention it though, you can never be too careful.
  • Around that time is when I started getting those pains too.  Some times were sharper and more painful than others.  Sometimes a stabbing pain, other times a dull ache.  And many times I'd feel like I was about to pee myself and there were times that the trickles were unpreventable.  Everytime I mention it to my OB she just laughs and says yep, normal.  But, trust your instinct and if it's too painful or just doesn't feel right call, L&D.
