Fanny daggers at 40 weeks?

The last few days I've had some very light cramps and general discomfort which is to be expected at 40 weeks. But in the last day or so I've also had the dreaded fanny daggers where I've had shooting pain in my lower uterus, right next to my cervix. I don't understand how the pain can be so intense in that area since the midwife says I'm at least 4/5 engaged so the wee buggers hands shouldn't be anywhere near there. Hmm

My mw said its pressure on nerves down there so could be head / or anything causing pressure. Gets worse the lower baby goes I believe!

Grr. I don't remember it being this far on with my daughter. Sad Id sort of hoped it was a good sign but know damn fine it means nothing. Hmm
