I chalk this up to what is referred to as lightening croch. I think it's the baby kicking certain organs like the urethra. I agree with you it's a killer!
It's called "lightening crotch" m'dear. And my Dr said it's from the baby pushing on nerves but you only feel it in the nerve-endings, which in that case, happen to be in your cervix. To me it feel like knives slicing me from the inside. Not fun!
Thank you for asking this question..........and thanks to the others for answering it!!! I get this pain just about every morning - always just when I wake up and get out of bed. I think it could be the combination of a full bladder and the baby hitting my bladder. It's a slicing pain, very brief, but VERY uncomfortable!!!
Re: OK, now HERE's a TMI question

that sounds seriously wrong. Maybe he hit a nerve :S
This makes sense, because it usually starts in my bladder and goes down. Definitely different than what's going on in my cervix.
Ahhhh the joys of pregnancy.?
