If your baby's head is engaged, have you been experiencing any sharp pelvic pains?

[lilly13]

Have you had any sharp pelvic/cervical pains that come and go if your baby's head is engaged? I am 34 weeks and have had stubbing pains that seem to come and go every 5 minutes or so... Not sure if these have anything to do with my baby's head being engaged... Should I be worried?

I'm 34 weeks and having exactly the same thing especially if I walk alot. I'm seeing MW tomorrow and will ask about it

I had stabby pains around 34wks, but not as frequently as you describe.

I think it is just a baby-hitting-a-nerve thing. Mine stopped after 2-3 weeks, I'm now getting more of a head-butt on the cervix kind of pain

I am 35+4 and for about the past week have been having these pains- I found out at my recent antenatal appointment that babies head is now 3/5ths Engaged. Walking has become particulary uncomfortable- feels like babies head is going to push its way out! Lots of pressure down there at the mo.

I would ask your MW at your next appointment, it might well be that baby has started to engage..

Thank you very much for your responses. Wishing you all good rest of pregnancies!

I've been having pain in my pelvis for the past 2 weeks or so - I'm 34+2. It's quite uncomfortable, especially when walking for longer periods at a time and getting up from a chair. Not as regularly as you describe, though! MW thought it could be either SPD or baby pushing down on a nerve...she wasn't too worried about it, just said I should ring them if it gets worse.

Call the midwife, she won't mind and it'll put your mind at rest!
