I posted this to someone else's question the other day...This is what I found in my pregnancy book under 'week 36'- "You may get stabbing pelvic pains or aches like a stitch, which are probably the pelvic ligaments loosening up. The baby's head may be down low in the pelvis and can bounce up and down on your cervix giving you shocks, particularly if you sit down too quickly. This doesn't necessarily mean that the baby is engaged..."
yes and you need to empty your bladder often and can actually have like a bend in it and think you pee'd it all but don't:) keep your feet up more now too so they do not swell!
I just asked the same thing not too long ago! I'm 36 weeks as well and its definitely normal! I've also been getting what feels like lightning urgh down there when i stand up and stuff like that. Our babies will be here soon =]
