What Causes Popping Sensation In Cervix And Painful Urination During Pregnancy?
Hello, I am 36 weeks pregnant today, and I just recently started feeling a popping sensation every time I urinate accompanied by some stabbing pain. This feeling that I just started having is localized to my pelvis area. Could my water have broken or in the process of breaking?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
36 weeks of pregnancy is near term. If the head of the fetus is fixed in the pelvis, you might experience symptoms like pooping sensation in cervix lower down. Painful urination could be due to pressure on urethra and urinary bladder.
These things might indicate that the membrane may rupture shortly as there would be pressure building slowly inside. Hence kindly do not exert yourself physically and take adequate rest whenever required.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
Wish you all the best.
