35 weeks - is this pain normal?!

Kristen • Mama to one boy born May 2019 - currently TTC baby #2, wish us luck 😍

I’m not sure if the baby is dropping, but the amount of pressure I feel in my vagina is unreal. It feels so heavy, like my cervix is about to give out. It’s worse when I go from sitting to standing.

Now all night tonight I’ve been having stabbing feelings in my vagina canal/anus area, and some sharp pains in my stomach above my belly button as well. I can’t tell if it’s Braxton Hicks because there is no tightening. Just pain, and it hasn’t gone away. Sometimes if I lay on my side and stay really still I feel okay, but the moment I move the pain is back. It hurts to even laugh. Is this pain going to continue to get worse over the next 5 weeks??? I hope not! At this rate I can’t see myself going full term, I feel like I’m about to go into labor! Lol but I’m a first time mom and don’t know what to compare this to. Any advice would be great.
