Vaginal pain due to cervix dilation????

Just curious if ynayone is experience internal vaginal pain. I have the feeling as though my cervix is effacing / dilating. The night before yesterday I woke up due to vaginal pain and I had problems walking yesterday due to it and had heaps of conmtractions. At my birthing class, I asked the midwife who recommended I get a CTG but I told myself, let's wait until tomorrow as it may stop, and it pretty much has. Only every now and then it hurts. Does anybody know if you can start to feel if the cervix is dilating via internal discomfort / pain??

Well im so ready at 27 weeks to have baby Isaiah. I have had the most horrible pinching pains I guess in what is considered the cervix! It has been an awful feeling. They have been happening a lot including tons of pressure! This is my third baby now and never experienced these awkward pains before! I have dr. Apt to arrow most definitely voice my concerns. I am very sore in my vaginal area and it hurts to walk I think it's way to early to feel this way! Kind of questioning due date. Anyway thanks for reading!

I'm currently 40 weeks and 3 days. At my last appointment last thursday I was dilated only 1cm and not effaced at all, but today I've been feeling pain and pressure and it feels as if my cervix is stretching. Also, this morning, my fiance and I had sex to try and get things going, I took a half-hour walk, and went up and down our stairs while doing laundry today.. And now I have this pain and pressure, along with my irregular contractions and constant backache. Doc wanted to induce me last thursday, but decided to wait a week because my cervix wasn't ready. But he wants to induce me this thursday if I haven't had her on my own yet. I'm so excited and can't wait! :)

I had Sharp pains in my cervix in the last month of pregnancy. I was dilated 5 cms without having any idea. It just felt like my baby was punching down really low in my cervix. Turns out I was dilating each time.

I just came back from my Dr. and she thinks the baby might come in a few days. She is still fully engaged and apparently during the CTG, I was having heaps of contractions (and she wouldn't stop moving around as usual). Seems like the loads of walking I've been doing has been paying off. My contractions are getting more painful and I'm getting period-like cramps and some aching back pain the last few days (and also the pressure of her head is making it quite painful down there!!).

Hope everyone is doing well :-)
