Hey i'm 38 weeks pregnant and i had a doctors check up today and no contractions and im not dilated at all, but i started having some sharp shooting pain in my vagina and pelvic pressure, i feel like his hand or foot is going to pop out of my vagina , is this normal? Anyone else? Its so intense and comes and goes

completely normal its called lightening or engagement. the baby is dropping into  position which can cause the pressure and sudden  movements by baby can now feel alittle sharp.

Could it be from the doctor checking my cervix?
