I’m getting the worst lightning crotch pains that feel quite regular.

Could this actually be contractions? I’m 39+5

I’ve been thinking this, had them so painful past 2 days, lasting 2 hours each time 😫

@Summer-Louise I hope it’s not what contractions feel like as it’s horrible 🥴

I really thought it was the start of something, I was even timing them. Then they just stopped suddenly 😩xx

Definitely keep an eye on them though, as I seen another lady mention she thought it was lightening crotch but was actually labour x

@Summer-Louise okay thanks! They’ve already stopped now 😂 who knows what will come tonight. Keep getting tightnings and period pains all night that keep me awake but then never intensify 🙈

Lightning crotch are short sharp pains, contractions feel like tightenings that peak and release in waves

Normally your contractions would come along with your abdomen tightening too, and the pain subsides as your abdomen loosens - they will gradually get worse and closer together overtime. I also get lightening crotch something terrible I am current 40+3 😔 still waiting for my baby to get the eviction notice he’s clearly ignoring!!
