Im 35 weeks pregnant and it feels like my vagina is stretching a lot. It doesn't feel like the baby's coming like I have to push. It just feels like its stretching and opening and it hurts a lot is that normal?

Well, let me put it this way, at 35 weeks your little partner has just about displaced everything inside you to make room for her/ his growing torsoe and started to do the flip flop (up side down) to get in position for the big day. He/she has literally taken over your heart (get used to it) by pushing that up out of the way too. So it isn't unusual that the pressure you feel down below is uncomfortable. Of course, if you feel a symptom that you don't feel is right at this point, you should inform your obgyn, but I just felt it as a lot of pressure at that time. Could be you are already dilating a bit.

I am sure J-9 will let you know.

I was told today her head is right down, this doesn't feel like pressure but actually like I'm opening up every few hours, then it stops, like a kind of ripping feeling. I'm an idiot, I was just with my mid-wife today and never mentioned it!
