im 36 weeks pregnant and i have been very dizzy lately and today i have been having sharp pains in my vagina

im 36 weeks pregnant and i have been very dizzy lately and today i have been having sharp pains in my vagina?
it feels like a knife is poking me in the vagina. my stomach is not cramping or anything. im living in germany and my german doctor has not checked me in the last 6 weeks only gave me a sonogram. also she is still not seeing me once a week. i see her next on tuesday the 8th. should i go in and see her? calling the docs is pointless because most of the nurses dont understand english.

Its normal, i had it in the last few weeks with my first and have just started getting it again with my second and im 29 weeks. Yeah its annoying and a bit sore, but it will all be over for you soon

My baby is actually jabbing me down there as I type this. Im pretty sure its normal. (im 36 weeks too) Babes just getting bigger and when she stretches shell bump you "down there" because there isnt much room. I just had a doc appointment today and he examined me and she healthy and active. You really shouldnt worry. But it never hurts to call and make sure

Your doc should be seeing you every week right now. If the pain is tollerable just take it easy for a while and try to get some rest. Get something to eat to stabalize your blood sugar and that may help the dizzyness. If it worsens please do not hessitate to see your doctor because that is what they are there for and its their job! Listen to your body and if you feel like something is wrong, don't take any chances for the sake of saving face with your lazy doc. Sharp pains in the vagina are mainly attributed to the body getting ready for labor and delivery but it is not a direct symptom of labor itself. Please take care, and I will say a prayer for your pains:)

I am 35 weeks and i have to same feelings. I am dizzy and lightheaded, but they told me recently that i was anemic and i just needed to increase my Iron, so you may want to look into that and make sure your blood pressure isn't to low (or high) bc that could be a cause as well. I also have the sharp pains down there but no cramps or contractions in several days just the pain like inside. Im not exactly sure what causes that pain, ive heard it is just your body preparing and strengthening. But if it makes you feel any better I have been having it for a little more than a week and im not in labor or anything so i would contact your doctor but i wouldn't pack my hospital bags just yet. Also, I think that is a little odd that you aren't being seen that often, I live in the US, is that normal for over there? i have been seen every 4 weeks and then recently every 2 weeks and now every week. i also have a appt on the 8th. Ask too if she will see if you are dilated at all yet bc that can be normal and fine but it sure would be nice to know if you are already dilated some. that's what they said about me as well. I know none of this is direct personal advice but just from my experiences, i hope it helps! Congrats and Good Luck!!
