I am 35 weeks pregnant (2nd child) and I have been getting sharp pains which feel like a knife scraping the inside of my vagina? Anyone else had this or heard of it?

Hi, I had these when I was pregnant, and the doctor said it was just my body geting ready for birth, When I was pregnant I was seventeen with quadruplets--yes quadruplets! I am turning 18 in February. My baby's are almost 3 months old, they were born on July 16th. They were VERY PAINFUL for me, and sometimes I had to stop what I was doing becuase I am a small person, I am 17 and was carrying 4, but the doctor said it was just my body getting ready.

Keep us updated if it's anything more, and when your baby is born I would like to know the name/gender ect!

i got them towards the end of my 2nd pregnancy i think i remember the midwife telling me its your body getting ready, sometimes they hurt so bad i had to stop what i was doing!! if u think of how much strain your body is under the baby gatting bigger moving down hormones going mad your bound to get pains

Hi I am also 35 weeks and I have been getting sharp cramping pains in my vagina.My doctor said it's normal and it's just your body getting ready for birth.This is my 2nd pregnance as well and I don't think I got them this early with my first.Yet everybody tells me your 2nd it alot easer than you first(whatever).

I also get these. I put it down to hormones, we produce more of the hormones relaxin. That, and the baby sitting on specific nerves. I had these with my first pregnancy and again, now - with the second. They can be extremely painful and stop you in your tracks. Let me know if it's something more.

I would like to know too, I'm having the same problem, but I'm only 10 weeks with first baby. It is very scary.

Hi, I am 13 weeks and have had cramping on and off since 6 weeks, although now I have a sharp pain in my groin which I think might be a water or yeast infection (so I am off to see my GP this week). I was worried about the cramps but now just call these my growing pains and that this is my body making up for the lack of sickness I am not experiencing! They say these are nothing to worry about but if you notice spotting or bleeding go to your GP or A&E immediately. A water bottle works wonders (but not too hot)!
