I've been Constipated my entire pregnancy up until last wk, and I started going almost every day sometimes 2x. And it does, it hurts horribly! I got hemorrhoids from it and they bleed alot!! Another reason I need this baby out!

Same sharp pains here.  I've been having way more bm than usual the past two days.  Today my lower back is cramping up it hurts so bad! But none of the contractions I expected to go along with the back pain.  I wish I'd go into labor, but I'm resigned to waiting for my c-section date.

7 days to go for me. I've had two false alarms. And they said I was 3cm dilated. I've been having those stabbing pelvic pains since. Last time I went to the hospital at hoag in Newport the doctor was aD bag, and told me to go home and that I'm not ready. And that I'm not in enough pain, among other things I won't get into. But he made me feel like I'm crying Wolf, and that I need to know these things... mind you FTM here ! granted I've read all kinds of mommy books, but EVERYONE is different. So for him to make me feel like I need to be dying to know that I'm in labor is bs. Anyway yes I've been having THOSE same cramps. And they are getting more regular when I stand or get out of bed. Idk what they are bit I'm getting THEM ;) I do however swim a lot five days a week, and go to the gym to walk on the treadmill. It makes them stronger and more painful never the less but if it makes it easier for me to give birth I'll take THIS pain any day lol. Go get check. You might be dilated. Or your babies moving around a lot and pressing on your cervix, that's when I feel it the most:) good luck

Completely normal! I've been having horrible sharp pelvic pain as well for the last wk or so. It can be the baby moving down and positioning. I get them when I walk alot, or bend down and stuff like that.  As far as being constipated,  high fiber, prunes, dates, miralax, colace...

I started getting extremely nauseated and wasnt aboe to eat or drink. I got dehydrated and had to go get check in the triage finding out the baby was trying to come out.  Having hard contractions that started this morning while trying to walk and the same thing was happening to me aswell. I got hydrated and feeling alot better. Baby is back to normal thank god cause its too soon. I will  be 36 wks in 1 day.

I'm 36w 4d, and I've started getting the sharp pain too. Had an appointment today, and I'm 1cm. I know I could stay that way for a while, but I'm hoping that maybe with all of the pressure and sharp pains, I'll continue to dilate and not go past my due date.
