What does "lightning crotch" feel like?

I've heard it mentioned on here before, but if you've had it, can you describe it at all? What does it feel like? I'm trying to pinpoint if what I feel could be it...  Thanks!

kind of like a sharp, quick, shooting pain. you might get a few in a row but usually by the time you realize it it's gone.

I get these hot poker pains in what feels like my cervix. It scared the bejeezus out of me the first few times. I asked my OB at my last appointment and he said it is most likely just my muscles shifting to accomodate my uterus and it is causing some pulling in that area. He wasn't concerned.

Exactly what Anna said.  Very quick and quickly gone but sometimes I have it happen a few times over the course of an hour or so, then not again for a few days to a week.

Its actually RLP according to my doc.  The round ligament goes all the way down there, so its just an extension pain of the stretching so its nothing to worry about.

hehe, my bff and I always said it felt like we were being stabbed in the whohaa! It is really fast, hence the "lightning" and it is right where it says it is.

Yup, stabby pains in what seems to be the cervix. I had them a lot last week.
