So my waters broke yesterday and still no contractions - 0cm dialation as of this morning, with posterior cervix.
I started trying bouncing on the birthing ball, and I'm getting what people have described as "crotch zingers": little shooting pains that probably have to do with the baby pressing on the cervix. Is this a sign that the bouncing is working and could help encourage contractions? Or is it something that I should stop, since it hurts? It's not very painful, so I am happy to keep going if it could bring on labour. But in normal life, pain is a sign not to do something - so I wouldn't want to do something that could hurt the baby or make eventual labour more difficult.
Does anyone know?
