Question about pressure & pain...update
*update* Cervix is measuring short at 16 weeks, but the doc would rather recheck in 2 weeks than be proactive. I spent a majority of Sunday feeling pressure, increased discharge, a feeling like I have to poo (tmi) but I don't have to, and painful cramps in my lower abdomen shooting down my pelvic walls. 2.5cm-3cm is not freaking normal and I know I shouldn't been feeling this pressure (since 8 weeks). Grrr....any advice ladies?
I'm currently 13+4. I've been feeling pressure on my cervix with some shooting pain since about 8 weeks, but over the last 2 days, it has been much more noticeable along with a change in vaginal discharge (pardon the tmi). It seems thicker and goo like. I plan to call my doc tomorrow as I have been asking them to check the length of my cervix already, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and what the outcome was. I do have an appt at 16 weeks to check my cervix, but I would feel better if they checked now as I have had a few procedures on my cervix and I don't remember pressure this early on when I was pregnant with my son (before the cervical procedures). Thanks ladies!

Sorry to hear about addictional bedrest. How far along are you now?
So today I've been having pelvic pressure and pressure in my bottom (I don't have to poo, tmi) and sharp stabbing pains radiating from my abdomen through my pelvic floor. They are so painful, I double over. Hubby recommends going back again tomorrow, but I'm sure they will just send me home like it's no big deal. I just don't know what to do at this point. For freaking sake, I want to stay pregnant. The worst thing is I can no longer envision myself and dh holding our baby and that scares me because I felt that with both of my miscarriages as well. I used to be able to envision it and now that excitement is gone.
After the second ultrasound, they originally said recheck in a week, then as we were making the appt, he said 2 weeks instead. I told hubby that I would wait until the end of the week before going back to er and demanding the on call OB and an ultrasound. With as intense as the pain has gotten, I know my cervix is doing something. I can tell the difference between round ligament pain and actual cramping. I appreciate your help hun!
Even sitting here now...I only started a load of laundry, not even heavy lifting, and was up and about for all of 20 mins (even tmi, went to the bathroom)...sit down and the pressure has started, the back pain is starting again, and cramps down through my pelvic walls. Grrr...normal my hind end, if it were the 3rd trimester, I would understand, but this is just ridiculous.
