Sharp pains in crotch

[callmedan]

Ok this is embarrassing but this past week I've been having shooting pains down below, slightly to the left mostly but sometimes on both sides
It's not really in a place I would say baby is in its lower and closer to my actual lady parts
Sometimes i do get slight cramps but I assume these are normal stretching pains?
Is this all normal and will it subside? I'm 15 weeks today
Thanks

If it feels like shooting pains down your vagina and cervix, I've been told this is what they call "lightning crotch" lol! I experienced this for the first time last week. I was told it's baby kicking your cervix or maybe just sitting on it. Shouldn't be anything to worry about, just another joy of pregnancy!

Yes this is called lightening crotch...and it HURTS!!!!
As you get further along baby will kick it punch your cervix which will cause more pain too. Fun
I'm already getting those pains but this is my 4th pregnancy...everything seems to happen sooner with the more babies you have lol.

I'm glad you asked this, I've been experiencing the same thing too, I was wondering what it was!
