1st Trimester
And I thought lightening crotch was a myth....
But I experienced it this weekend and whoa was that a suprise!! I am glad I read the post that was up last week about this or I may have been really concerned. Felt like the baby had a knife it was stabbing me with in the southern region!

Re: And I thought lightening crotch was a myth....
Here's what I've experienced so far, and considering I had an MC before, of course I worry extra:
Menstrual like cramps that come and go, never get too bad but annoying
lightning crotch : )
Pain in my tail bone and sides of my butt
Pain just above my tail bone, lower back ache I guess
Today the lower back pain and cramping lasted a little longer than normal
Gas-like or even hunger-like pains on right side of my abdomen, lasted for almost a few days
Other than that, sore boobs, seems to be the worst at night.. had morning sickness at first, but not so much anymore ... food cravings
I don't care what it is...it hurts!
I will remember this post when you're about 3 weeks PP and you're going bananas from the hormones.
Unable to even.

why on earth would you think lightning crotch is a myth?
its real and its AWFUL. creep over to third tri. lots of lightning crotch posts over there!
6 weeks is way too early for lightning crotch. Just wait until you have a few pounds of baby slamming their head on your cervix. That's a whole different ball game.
I joined this website to learn and share with women who can relate to what each other is going through. I really don't see the need for people to get nasty and refute what my body is going through since every woman experiences pregnancy differently. This is my first pregnancy and I do not know what to expect, I read a post last week (maybe you can criticize the women on that post as well) regarding this symptom and when I felt something similar I just assumed that's what it was was, I'm not a Doctor.
HaHa and the spelling mistake, how silly of me, I should've known that. Although lightning is a commonly mispelled so I'm not the only one I guess.

You definitely can't spell!
Damn, already?

Sprinkles pretty rainbow dust all over this thread.
I came fully prepared with snark but am not in the mood to use it. Hopefully, this will help instead. A lot of people experience a kind of cramping feeling, sharper and more localized even than period cramps, during the first trimester normally around the time they find out they are pregnant. I think I remember that some of that is attributed to the uterus stretching and shoving other organs around, and sometimes due to the attachment of the placenta (but that is only for a day or two). Nothing to worry about unless there is bleeding beyond a light short spotting.
Hope this helps, and congratulations to everyone on this board.

Delish, i think this is what you're looking for. YWIA:
I totally know how you feel. I have experienced this before!
Some people must be unhappy and plain out rude.
I disagree. Or maybe I agree but also...
I think there are 2 different versions of lightning crotch (and since it's not a real medical condition, I don't think there is an actual definition). One kind is what OP is mentioning and can happen throughout pregnancy. I know the feeling - shooting pain to the vag. My doc said the round ligaments stretch from your uterus to your labia and when they stretch as your uterus grows, you can feel the pain all the way down.
The second kind is the head butt or kick to the cervix and will generally only happen in later pregnancy when the baby is big enough. Definitely a different kind of pain but I suppose it could be labeled lightning crotch too although it's not the sharp type of pain I would think to call lightning crotch.
Anyway, just my 2 cents in this fun thread.
I'm only 9 weeks but I posted something the other day on this board regarding these pains. I had no idea what it was but I'm guessing/ and many responded with the explanation of RLP. I had 1 individual tell me it was lightning crotch as well! Whatever it was it was sure a hell of a suprise! And made me a bit nervous!
It hurts like a b*tch. I also like the one where the baby kicks you in the taint.
So disconcerting...
