Pregnant FTM 35 weeks and wanted to start the perineal massage for delivery. Got in the "mood" to relax (no sexual act, just relaxation and thoughts to help the muscles down there), laid back, used coconut oil as lube and my husband inserted ONE thumb and I almost screamed in pain. He couldnt do more than 30 seconds before i pushed him off. It was so painful it felt like cutting and burning sensation that is still there while writting this 30 minutes after the event. This is the second time it happened. The first time was last week at my fetal monitoring, the doc checked my cervix and it was the exact same pain. I didnt think much of it first cause who wants to have a docs hand inside their vagina so thought it was just the sudden pressure. Plus it took him a minute to find my cervix as its far and looking back apparently. And i got back to work after and 45 minutes later it was still hurting. Same thing tonight.
Anyone got the same thing? Is it going to go away after birth? Does it make labor more difficult? I'm stressing out now.
PS: no allergy to coconut, no weird dry skin fingers were used (cutting sensation), didnt have sex in MONTHS so I can't say if it would be the same during sex, never hurt that badly before I got pregnant. Note that my pelvic area is in pain 24/7 since the 2nd month of the pregnancy. Would it be related?
