Im back again with another question!!

Im just over 39 weeks pregnant, and im seeing my midwife later this afternoon but just wondered if anybody on here has experienced this or know what it cud be???

I have been getting weird pushing and shooting pains down below wen baby is moving which as iv read on ere is common as baby is probably moving down, he/she is def lying on my bladder as i cant stop weeing LOL.
The question im wanting to ask is: has anybody experienced a sharp pain on the right inner thigh?? this happened twice yesterday and was very uncomfortable.
Is this common???
Help much apriciated. thanks xxx

yep. I experienced it loads during my 3rd pg, and a dead leg lots too..... you could pinch it and no feel it.

it's to do with little one pressing on your nerves

I had this due to baby engaging further and hips widening my labor started a day later.

My first was two weeks early so it does happen. Try not to be to scared and focus on the fact that you will soon get to meet the little person who has been kicking you.
