Hi Alicia! I had this for about the last 3 weeks or so of my pregnancy.
Quite common I think and not very much fun at all. I don't think it
necessarily means the baby is engaging as I felt the pains but Madeline was
still fairly high up when I went into labour. Hang in there, not too much
longer to go! Hopefully your baby comes on time because once that due date
comes and goes the days drag on!

Seems pretty normal to me, or at any rate I've been having those same pains
for a couple of weeks now. When I stand up, it's ow ow ow ow. Though I'm
sort of getting used to it now. Not that it hurts less, just that I'm
getting used to it.

To me it feels like she is stomping on my cervix. It feels like a cervical
exam when dialated. Ouch! Baby is really low for me, so this has been
happending for a while. I am only 30 weeks. ANd maybe baby IS banging fists
on your cervix!
