Is this normal to feel so much pain when baby moves? 37+4

For a few weeks I've had quite bad pain when baby kicks down on my cervix and it would take my breath away and I would have to clench my body.

Last few days I've had mild period pain and back pain on and off then nothing yesterday.

THEN last night I was woken up by the feeling of baby on my bladder. It feels like he's suddenly really, really low down. When he kicks, I'm in SO much pain. It feels like a stinging, pinching, scraping feeling. He's moving so, so much it feels like he's going to burst out of my stomach. The pain is in waves, all in the pelvic area and my bum/bowels? Occasionally bad pain on the inside of my thighs.

I actually moaned in pain a few times uncontrollably. It really bloody hurts like crazy. I don't think I've had any contractions, but to be honest I don't know what they feel like. No abnormal discharge.

I have a son already but I was induced and straight on the epidural so only felt mild period cramps at hospital. Never got pain like this with him through the whole pregnancy.

I just want to check it's normal to feel so much pain when baby moves. I can't be dealing with this kind of pain for weeks.

Ring your midwife/triage

They are best to advise

I never had any pain - talk to your midwife

Doesnt sound normal to me. The waves of pain sound more like contractions than anything else tbh but I would definitely contact your midwife or pregnancy unit.
