crazy crotch pain anyone?! lol

nikkig7

Is anyone else having extremely sharp pain in the low pelvic/vaginal region? Just tonight I can feel her moving really low and then it will be the worst stabbing pain down there for a second or two. Is this happening to anyone else?

I've started to get that recently also. My MW said today that it's his head pushing on my pelvis and to take it as a good sign.

Yep! I've been experiencing the same thing... It's pretty painful. But like the previous poster said, my midwife also said it was a good sign

This is true for me too!

Yup I have it too and did with my daughter as well .. it happens when they drop and their head starts hitting a nerve down there. Unfortunately in my experience it has little to do with dilating .. I was just checked today and am not even 1cm yet and it was the same story with my daughter .. not even 1cm dilated at 41w.

I call it lightening crotch. if i get up & move for a minute or 2 it goes away.. im assuming its her position ( but i was hoping it meant i was dilated ) since i want to meet LO soon.. but when i asked this morning everyone said you cannot feel dilation

LIghtening crotch is the perfect name for it!!! Been happening to me for about a week. At my last appointment I was only fingertip dilated so I am hoping this means something is starting to happen down there

This has been happening for the past few weeks. Dr appt this week showed I wasnt dilated yet. I hope something starts to happen soon.

I've had this too!  I'm glad the MW's say that it's a good thing...I figured it was normal so I never thought to ask my Dr. about it.  It's been getting more consistent lately so maybe he's trying to bust loose!

I've had pain similar to this for a month or so now. My DR gave me some pelvic exercises to do and they help quite a bit! I can really feel the difference when I don't do them. I can barely walk on the days that I have forgotten to do them.

I asked my doctor about this yesterday. He said " Does it feel like a knife jabbing your vagina?, ... atleast that's what ladies have told me" .. I was thinking.. yes ,... yes it does. .haha. But he said this is normal and is the baby's head hitting your cervix.
