40 plus 4, babys head causing pain

[sunshiney]

Lying in bed with the babys head grinding on my cervix, sharp pains making me wince.

Every so often his head seems to hit a nerve and sends this quite excruciating pain down my inner thigh.

Is that run of the mill or am I unlucky, as I don't recall this with dd...

Furthermore then, can I expect this nerve pain to become a constant when his head is in that position for a while during birth? Yikes

Morning all! Well I was woken at 1am by contractions! Not too bad yet, and tens machine is helping a lot I'm pleased to discover.

Wish me luck...!

Ooooooh good luck! Keep us posted if you can

Thanks shaz! Will do

I've gotten that for the last few weeks (am 41+2) and it's pretty painful. The good news is that it does tend to come and go - seems worse when he's wiggling about.
