This is my first post. Sorry it's going to be kinda gross. Lol.
This is my second child. I had no problems with my first pregnancy, and so many problems with this one, including multiple UTI's, kidney infections, and Gallbladder disease resulting in gallbladder removal surgery at 33 weeks.
I've been losing my mucus plug for a week, and for the past 3 days/nights I've had lots of painful contractions (sporadic) coupled with back pain and chest pain with each contraction, sharp stabbing pains in my vagina, nausea, and sweating. I was nesting all day today. Tonight I walked around the mall with my husband and kept having to stop because of the sharp stabbing pains in my vagina and contractions.
When I got home I took a nice long hot shower. I felt as if something was protruding out of my vagina. When I stuck my finger into my vagina, I felt as if there was something in there. Almost like my vaginal wall was prolapsing on itself.
When I got out of the shower, I squatted over a mirror and it looked like the baby was crowning, even though I knew it wasn't the baby. When I touched it, I could actually feel it like it was a part of me.
My question is, could this just be the uterus protruding from the pressure, could my vagina be prolapsing? I am a little concerned but with no blood or steady contractions, I don't want to bother my doctor.
Has anyone had this problem, or have any idea what it could be? Google was of no help.
