Alright! I have some weirdness going on... (not a 'am i pregnant question!')?

Are these pains you describe as her pushing down hard almost like a sharp needle prick/stabbing type feeling? Almost like she is trying to poke her fingers out your ? If so its completley normal, i have been having them since about 28 weeks and i also had them in the last few weeks with my first pregnancy (this is my second). Im now 36 weeks and get them maybe 4 or 5 times a day. It hurts, lol
