Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Hi, my daughter is 41 wks and has been at 3/5 for 2 weeks, and has been told her cervix is tightly shut ! She has pain inbetween her legs sometimes and is worried that the babys head might be stuck ? This is her 2nd child.Please type your query here...
Hello, Pain in between legs mostly means pain in the vulval region and also over the pubic symphysis due to widening of the joints. Also, with cervical dystonia, a condition where the cervix does not dilate as needed during labor, pain is felt along the vagina and also over the back. This, if it happens, is not a favorable condition for normal delivery. Since your daughter has already passed full term, it is advisable to assess the pelvis for labor and also check the fetal well-being to plan further management like inducing labor to cause a vaginal birth or go for an elective abdominal delivery. Hope this helps.
