39 weeks stabbing/shooting pain in cervix?

Question

Last week, at 38 weeks I started getting shooting/stabbing pains in my cervix. It doesn't last for more than a couple of seconds. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and will ask her, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you!

Answer 1

Those pains are associated with your cervix effacing or thinning out...its normal!

Answer 2

I am dealing with this too! i'm also 39 weeks and i've been having irregular contractions along with this pain. I went to the doctor today and she said it was normal that it was the baby's head pushing into the cervix, (descending). but I know how you feel!

Answer 3

I had the same pains with all 4 of my pregnancies.  It was the baby putting pressure "kicking" my Urethra.  It sucks, but it's not dangerous.  At least in my situation

Answer 4

Most likely normal. A warm bath at night can help with the adjustments as your baby begins to drop into position. Best wishes, G
