what does dilating feel like ?!

Question

Tmi !! But I NEED to know! When I walk sometimes or bend down, even sometimes being on the toilet, I feel very sore vaginally! Like as if I've had really rough sex! I'm 33+4 days! Next app is on Wednesday!

Answer

You can't feel when you are dilating. The pain your feeling is called round ligament pain. It's when your hips are stretching and muscles are being cramped to accommodate delivery your baby. It's a pain to deal with but so worth it. Try gentle stretching, relaxing bath to ease your muscles or take a Tylenol. No ibuprofen though while your pregnant. Another thing that helped me was a heating blanket especially at night when I was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep

Answer

I get the same feeling...It's all day now. Sometimes sharp pain but mostly feels like I had really rough sex for hours. Sore  and bruised like pain.

Answer

You can't feel dilation!

Answer

It's probably the hormone that causes your joints to relax a little bit and loosen so it's easier for baby to fit through the pelvic bones, I get that pain now at 20 weeks, you don't really feel dilating. Baby may have dropped too, you can ask at your appointment, but as long as your not having contractions your baby's not just going to fall out or anything haha

Answer

I walked around dilated to a 5 for an entire week before I had my daughter, and I had absolutely no idea! So I'm not sure you always feel it.

Answer

You could be dilating! Some women say they feel it, others say they don't. I didn't dilate until I was in labor, but it definitely is a possibility!

Answer

When I was about 4 cm dilated I felt like the baby was going to fall out at pretty much all times of the day.
