What exactly is "lightning crotch"?

I keep hearing this, not sure what it is?  Sounds, um, fun?

It feels like a stabbing pain in your vagina. Almost like you sat on a knife. My Dr said it can be from LO kicking your cervix or sitting/pressing a nerve.

This.

It's a very quick sensation that can happen off and on.

Ah.  So pretty much what it sounds like then

Thanks!

You'll know it when you feel it. But for me it's more of a shooting/stabbing pain that feels like it travels from the outer parts of my vajayjay to the inner parts of my vajayjay. It's quite unpleasant and frankly, one thing I will never miss about being pregnant. Luckily, I haven't had that for a few weeks now.

Yes as soon it happened to me I knew exactly what it was. Definitely an unpleasant feeling!

Not everyone has it.  I never did with DD

I never noticed it with DS but this time around it happens about 3-4 times a day. Usually it makes my whole body jerk

Woke up to LC this morning. Not fun.

I didn't know it had a name, but I have described it as a lightning bolt type feeling in the vaginal area.  I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
