Pain during last stage of pregnancy?

This will include TMI - so if you will be offended please do not read. For the last day or two, but particularly today I have been getting sort of stabbing pains in my private area. They do not last for long but are quite intense. I am 37+4 pregnant and have had some complications mid pregnancy (bleeding and cramping). I have also had last night and today some on and off period type pains in my lower abdomen. Are these signs of labour or infection? I am seeing the mid wife tomorrow, but would just like to know if anyone else has experienced this. Many thanks. x

    you certainly ought to make a journey to the ER for peace of innovations. some month in the past I experienced an identical genuine indicators plus some chills and dizziness and found out I had a ruptured ectopic being pregnant..which could be deadly if no longer immediately dealt with. I truthfully have additionally heard of cramping for the period of a typical being pregnant so which you're turning out to be no longer something to be concerned approximately yet the two way...get to the ER!

    I'd say more likely to be your body getting ready for labour rather than infection. Especially the stabbing pain bit! I had that too, my midwife said it was from dilating. Good luck x
