Baby's movements painful!

Just thought I'd post about this, see if anyone else has experienced it,
whether or not it is just standard. This evening in particular I've been
feeling baby moving very very low in my pelvis, and each time it moves,
there is a sharp pain! I have had sharp kicks to my ribs and such, but
never down so low. Does this mean that the baby is engaging? Is it
normal
for it to hurt so much? It almost feels like it is banging its fists
against my cervix. OW! Please let me know what's going on if you have
experienced this.
Many thanks,

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!
