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??

OK, so doc told me Im 3 cm, it can take somewhere between 12 hours to 2 weeks- funny ha? After I came back from doc I started having some really seriuos contarctions, pain and some blody discharges. I think I will be going in next few hours, I will calling them in few hours to check me. I dont want to wait till the night and go trough emergency room. I just want have this baby. Finger cross.

I have a doc appt tomorrow as well, I hope to hear its coming soon!!! I feel awful for a past few days. I do not have any contarctions but Im not myself, Im very tired and need to take naps few times a day. Normally Im very active person and if something is not done I will not go to bed, last weekend I couldnt even do the laudry I was so tired. Do you think is the sign something is going on? Im worry a bit about contarctions, I feel few a day only, specially at night. Little girl is still moving but not that often like a month ago, I guess she has no enough room. I will ask my doc tomorrow for sure.
I just took a nap hour ago and Im tired again, ready to go to bed but then at night I cant sleep,

I just came back from my Obstetrician. She performed an internal exam and didn't have to go in deep because of some good news. She was suprised that my little one is already fully engaged at 37 weeks (last week she was partially engaged). My cervix is closed but she told me it can start to dilate when labour begins and that most likely my mucous plug has come out and it can happen any time now. The little one weighs about 6.8 lbs (3.084 kg) at the moment and is measuring almost a week ahead.

I told my husband and I think he's a bit anxious, he wants to be with me almost all the time now lol. How cute.

Let us now how everyone is doing. Can't wait to see everyone's baby pics soon. Hope everyone has a safe birth and healthy babies :-)
