Q: Confused on what's going on with my body.

I'm 33+5 weeks and last few weeks or so I've been clearing out my bowels a lot (sorry tmi).. I've also had pressure in my bum and cervix and a constant dull pain in my back and lower stomach.
Also other night I was having tightenings which kept me up, I didn't time them cause I was trying to sleep them off.
Now today I've been having shooting pains in my vagina and I thought I'd give myself a self check and I can fit my fingertip in my cervix.

What's happening? Should I give midwife a call?
Thanks

Im impressed that you can check yourself and know what you are feeling. but yes. definately call your midwife. sounds like you are dilating. sounds like you were having braxton hicks contranctions. but if your cervix is opening you need to see someone to stop it since you have a little more than 6 weeks to go. good luck!!!
