Vaginal ache

[Amanda86]

Hey all

Just wondering if this is normal? I’ve got a feeling in my vagina (sorry tmi) it’s like a jabbing/shooting pain but it’s an ache type feeling not painful, I’m aware of it though.

Is this normal? I’m 13+5 today.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you xxx

It might be pelvic girdle pain. I’m having physio for this at the moment. Have a look at the symptoms online and see what you think. Chat with your midwife too if you’re worried as I’m no medical expert! I just know I have similar pains (and swelling). My pain is the worst when I get out of bed in the morning. Hope you get it sorted soon! X

Thanks so much for the reply. I’ll have a look online at that and see if it might be what I have xxx

Ive had the shooting pains and dull aches too and I'm 12 weeks! I think it's normal (everything stretching) I had my scan yesterday and did a urine sample everything's fine xx

It's called lightening crotch!! Legit condition that you get through second trimester!! I went to the docs over it. Nothing to. Worry about!! And the name of the condition made chuckle.! 0😀👍

Haha! I just googled lightening crotch and found a website describing it and it said lightening crotch aka fanny daggers 😂😂 which is exactly what it’s like!! Glad to see it’s normal and has a very amusing name! 😂 xxx

Bathe in salt water warm. This might be the extra blood that flows as you're pregnant you have extra going around this can cause swelling and aches. Also check for urine Infection go to get a pee test done at drs. Midwives don't deal with UTI checks and they can't prescribe antibiotics if you do have one.

I had that late pregnancy. I had varicose veins in my legs and later in vulva! Also I was told baby is pressing on certain nerves when moving.
