Shooting pain

[lianm8]

I am nearly 20 weeks pregnant (on Friday) and for the past week have been having lots of heaviness down below which I know is normal. Yesterday and today I have been having shooting pains in my lady parts- these are on and off all day.

Is this normal? X

They are normal hun I’ve had them with all my babies I call them goose daggers if it’s hurting you or your worried speak to your midwife. Xx

Thanks lovely. I never had this with my first so was a bit concerned! Xx

I think it’s the more babies we have the more things happen as the after pains can be worse to after having a baby ! You would expect to have or notice all these with first but nope it’s more every baby xx

My first baby was breech and she literally didn’t move for about three months I was always at the hospital having traces because of lack of movement so this pregnancy is so different already I’m feeling so much more movement and these pains are all new to me. Thank you xxx

Aw Hunni well I hope you have an easier next few months with this little one and less hospital visits , but if any changes or concerns just ring your midwife. Xx

Hi hun , im 14 weeks with my third but i remember these shooting pains down below...further on i used to get like an almost grinding pain when the baby was engaged especially when standing/walking. Im not looking forward to it starting again but I know it wont be long until i start getting them too. Its nothing to be concerned about from what i remember but like sisi14 said, if they become realky painful id call my midwife if i were you. Good luck hun x
