I am 36 weeks tomorrow, and for the last week or so i have had this feeling where i presume my cervix is, it feels like baby clawing at it Confused
It isn't a nice feeling, but not stabby ( get that feeling as well, but different sensation ) but it is like she is trying to get out or something!
Today i have been feeling it a lot and i am getting really uncomfortable ( more so than normal ).
So who else has this or can remember this feeling? and is it what i think it is, baby doing something to the cervix?

Hi not too sure what pain could be but didn't want to read and run! I wonder if its just where there is so much stretching and growing on! Hope you figure it out soon!

I had that with my Ds ~ kind of a stingy sensation. Ended up going in to be checked out, but it was nothing (in my case) and I went full term.
I imagine it's just the weight/stretching of the skin fibres...

Oh god yes and it makes me wince. It's like she's trying to claw or pointy poke her way out. No idea what she's actually doing though? I'm 39+6 and this has been going on for a while now.
