What Causes Stinging Pain In Cervix During Pregnancy?
I have a stinging pain which feels like its at my cervix. It feels like burning or babies head is acting like a corkscrew on my cervix. I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and have no uti s or anything like that but I get it everyday and its happens when baby moves and I have to end up moving to get rid of it. Can you tell me what it might be please?

Hallow Mumma to be,
It seems you have started feeling the symptoms of initiation of labour.
If this is your first pregnancy, the cervix gets prepared by getting merged in to the uterus. This is giving you the feeling you are getting. Moreover, the head of the baby is descending into your bony passage of the waist. Therefore you are feeling pressure in the lower abdomen. In first labour, these things happen before you actually land in labour.
You be prepared to receive your baby now. Probably you will have to go to the maternity hospital within week's time or may be earlier.
Wish you a bonny baby,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
