Hi guys
I’m 35+5 today, and really struggling with lightning crotch today and strange shooting pains in my upper thighs.
Anyone else had similar pain in their upper thigh towards the crotch? Seems to coincide with lightning crotch but it’s a strange cramping pain.
Worried about early labour etc!

I haven't experienced anything like that but it definitely could be similar to lightning crotch with babe applying pressure to nerves.

I had very similar to this during early Labour. I had it for 2/3 weeks before she was born. Might be worth while just getting in touch with someone and double checking everything is well. It could just be baby is laid in a certain position on a nerve 💕

thank you, I will call the assessment unit I think! He is exceptionally active tonight so he may just be putting pressure on a bit more than usual!
Best to check though I guess

keep us updated! Good luck. It’s always worth checking up on any different movements too. So if he’s more active than normal. It’s usually nothing, but worth checking 💕

yes it could well be nerves. Such an uncomfortable feeling! I’ll keep an eye and may get checked out if it carriers on - thanks :)

thank you- will call now x
