3rd Trimester

sharp stabbing pain?

Im just shy of 38 weeks and I just had a rediculously sharp stabbing pain down there... never had that before. Didny feel like a headbutt ... it was odd. I actually immediately thought "how did that not break my water?"

Has anyone else felt this? What was it? Haha

Re: sharp stabbing pain?

  • I get them a lot. I started feeling them around 34 weeks and they just get worse and worse the lower the baby drops.

  • I read in What to expect when your expecting that towards the end you will feel a "lightening" pain, which means the baby is moving down lower into your pelvis and getting ready! I'm just over 37 weeks now and I've had it since about 35 weeks.
  • Thanks girls! The dr said the baby was REALLY low during my last checkup so it seemed so odd for me to get a new cervix pain. I feel like he cant get any lower without coming out lol. Obviously im wrong about that! Lol

  • Good ol' lightning crotch. Like you're getting zapped. Mine have gotten worse towards the end. Good luck!

    Right there with you! Was really hoping it meant I'd see some progress at next appointment but I know better than to hope for that! Haha. Was definitely awkward as I was interviewing potential employees dealing with those lovely pains yesterday. At least we're almost there right?  

  • For me, lightning crotch is a completely different pain than the sharp cervix pain...I have them both frequently and they both suck!

  • I have! I am 37 weeks and in addition to feeling tired a lot, I get these random stabbing pains down there. Makes me wanna grab my crotch and go "ow" but I'm usually in a public place when it happens. Not fun!
