Maybe something to do with blood flow. I get a shooting pain in my butt cheek sometimes, turns out my uterus is pressing on a nerve.

I get that too, never knew what it was, assumed it was normal since I have gotten it with all three pregnancies.

Ok ive been having a look around on google and it seems there are similar things going on with other women, there is one condition called symphisis pubis dysfunction or SPD but i think that is more in the pubic bone region. It may be caused from varicose veins on your vulva. Or it is simply a swollen vagina caused by progesterone, the swelling is just blood and fluid and sitting down for a while kind of squishes all the blood away, then when you stand it rushes back in causing pain. Its totally normal and quite common.

Yes, and yes, in the past week all kinds of weird stuff like that. I swear this baby might fall out of me!
But I don't think she will yet. LOL
