can you feel yourself "dilating" ?

Naobi
So. I'm 34 weeks and I'm not sure what this sharp pain is. All I know is when I had an IUD placed in early 2015 the doctor had a hard time opening my cervix. But when she did I FELT IT. I knew she finally got it (and she told me too as it happened so I know the pain was related) Its like a sharp painful Stab that lasted a couple seconds. This is what I'm feeling randomly now. It's breath taking.... I have an appointment in a couple of days so I'm definitely going to bring it up. Just want to know if anyone else has experienced this and if it was related to dilation. Thanks 😭
