32 weeks and shooting pain

I know that this has already been asked before but I cantseem to find the post. I believe that loismwallace asked it so I am sorry to repeat. I am 32 weeks pregnant and have been having a shooting pain in my vagina. I read somewhere this could mean I am beginning to dialiate. Is that correct or could it also be something else? Thanks.

Hi I had the same shooting pain in my pregnancy, this started around 32 weeks, I finally gave birth at 41 weeks so nothing to worry about, I think it's just the baby moving downwards and your body stretching.

Its most likely because the baby is resting on a nerve. It seems to happen a lot during the end of pregnancy. Like GreenEyedMama said if you try to move the baby around and get them off of the nerve than it will usually go away.

I have the same shooting pain in my vagina (cervix). I`m 31 weeks. I can`t walk. I don`t think that is from dilatating. Dilatation is not such an easy thing. Maybe is just from stretching.
