Pain in crotch area, 39 weeks

[GrowingBelly]

Hi all, I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant and booked for a section next week.

Today when I woke up I have a horrible feeling like I’ve been riding a bike in my crotch area, 😳it’s the only way I can describe it. I’m struggling to walk and feel really tender.

Is this normal at this stage in pregnancy?

Thanks. 😁

It's sound like something that's referred to quite often as lightning crotch! Shocks of pain in your crotch. If you're worried it's more than that though, definitely give your midwife a call and go for a check up. Good luck with everything xx

Thank you, I’ll see how things go this morning & if it’s still persisting I’ll give the midwife a call. Thanks again. X

Yep! Def had this 😳!! Walking to a midwife appointment ironically and lightening crotch struck me!! It stops you in your tracks. Also an ongoing dull ache at times. It does pass, just another lovely symptom of pregnancy xx
