Stabbing type pain / lots of pressure 35 weeks

[Pumpkinjuice292]

Baby is head down , but not 100% sure if engaged yet

I have been getting a lot of pressure down below feels like baby is constantly head butting my cervix , but every now and then I also get a shooting/ stabbing pain down there which reslly stops my in my tracks

Is this normal?

I really don't remember getting this pains / feelings with my 1st baby

Is it lightning crotch? www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/your-health/lightning-crotch-pain-pregnancy-symptom/

I’ve just come on to ask the same thing! 35 weeks on Monday and I’ve had lightening crotch but these feel different and have been going on all afternoon. Are yours just below your belly button?

@Mol88 mine are right down deep in my pelvis!

Sounds like lightening crotch

Oh yes, the classic “fanny daggers”. It’s most likely caused by baby pressing on a nerve. But it does take the breath away at times!
