3rd trimester
bladder??
I'm now 36 weeks pregnant and for a few weeks I've had real pain (stabs) above my pubic bone. Is that my bladder? It feels like little "knife stabs" and I get the impression it stings or hurts when it moves. I was tested for a urinary tract infection over a month ago; I had a bit of it then too, but the result was negative, so that was good. But I still find it a weird, painful, and very uncomfortable feeling, and it really hurts. Sometimes 4 times in 10 minutes, then again for a couple of hours nothing, sometimes at night, sometimes not. But it's a "weird" kind of pain if you ask me. Especially because it doesn't feel like pressure but more like real sharp stabs. Do you know what this could be or do you experience something similar?

I think this has to do with dropping down. -

I think this has to do with descending. -

I had the same with my oldest two. Now it's less intense, and at least less painful. Now it's more like a pressure I feel on my pubic bone.
I think - like Kim - that it's also due to the baby dropping for you.

Haha Kim, you made your point pretty clearly, huh!!
Yeah, I have too, but one time it's a Braxton Hicks contraction and the next time I really feel mini-me squirming down there with her little hands, it's sometimes really painful!! It's indeed a weird feeling, but I guess it's part of it.. -
