Vaginal pain due to cervix dilation????

[zazou]

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??

Thanks for the update!!! I'll be checking in to compare dr's answers tomorrow evening and I should be getting checked for dilation/effacement so we'll see if that really has anything to do with it. Let's hope things are progressing. How are you feeling?

Hi Ladies!
I just got back from my doctors appointment. I asked my doctor about the sharp pain and pressure, and he said it could be due to effacement and possible dialation. He was going to check me today, but figured he would wait until my appointment next week because I am due to be checked then anyways. He said not to worry too much though unless the pain is consistent and gets worse.

I will be sure to let you all know what my doctor says. Then after your appointments we can deliberate, just for fun, and see if our doctors say the same thing! lol
Take care ladies, and keep growing them babies! :)

I have had the exact same pain.  I've also been having contractions off and on.  I was wondering the same thing, but I won't be able to ask til next Wednesday.  Definitely let us know what your dr says.

I've been having the pressure, but not the pain.  I went to the Dr. on Tuesday (12th) and he pretty much said the pressure was just baby getting in position along with it getting closer to delivery day.  Like I said though, I haven't had any pain.  Please let us know what your dr. tells you

My next appointment is on the 26th May. Let us know what your docs say.
