What should i do?

Question

Hey all, i’m currently 22+2 weeks. 
For the past few days i’ve been having really severe pressure on my cervix. It literally feels like he’s gonna pop out. I notice it more when i’m standing. I also am having sharp shooting pains up my stomach. Idk what to do. I want to call my midwife but i just feel like i’m annoying her.

Answer

Your midwife is ALWAYS there to answer questions! If you don't want to bother her, call labour and delivery and ask their opinion. There is something called "lightening crotch" that happens to a lot of women during pregnancy

Answer

I would call. Did you have an anatomy scan and your cervical length checked? You can have those symptoms if it’s short.

Answer

It might not be your cervix. It's common to have pressure down there during pregnancy. Could also be increased blood flow in your vagina and it's a bit swollen. That can make it feel like something is coming out.

Answer

I had that with my second son. He was just very low. I would occasionally hurt so bad I would go on all fours and out my butt up and my head down. So I can get him off the cervix for a bit lol I told my midwife I felt like a porn star who got banged by big dick barry for a day lol she was like well that's one way to describe it

Answer

Call your doc. The keywords here that are a red flag to me are “severe” and “shooting.” Not normal.
