I do not know if this is what they meant by lightning crotch, but in the crease (where my stomach and privates meet), right in the middle... I get this sudden strike of pain like a cramp that almost sends me flying forward in pain. I have to literally grab my stomach and lift it some to try and ease the pain, then it goes away, but comes right back if I walk more or go up and down the stairs.
I have told this to my midwife before, but she keeps telling me to drink more water cause I might be dehydrated... which if two and a half gallons a day isn't enough than what is? She usually has my appointments dead in the morning so my urine is darker when I take a pee sample. I keep telling her by afternoon you see no color. Bleh.
Re: Lightning Crotch?
Hmm, I suppose it may be, but I have had those before and they usually lasted a bit longer and were like regular cramps that lingered for a bit.
These are like cramps in the sense of my stomach clinches, but it feels like someone stabbed me with a hot knife.. then instantly goes away.
