I call it ‘fanny daggers’ which my husband finds hilarious.
But 8 weeks and they seem to have started here!

Never heard of this til now but I have experienced a sharpish pain in the crotch area... not too painful and only for a couple of seconds... so these are normal then? Xxx

they can be completely normal babe. I remember having them with my other two, don’t think they were this early though. But every pregnancy is different.

It’s sooo weird feels like I’m being electrocuted 😭🤣 x

Are you still getting these? I'm 14 weeks and keep getting this like pulsating crampy feeling for a second in my vagina 👀. Does it every now and then. Not bad pain but just weird. I called the midwife and she seemed to think it's lightning crotch. 🌩

no I only had it a couple of times after this post and it’s not happened again since about 12 weeks I’m 18 weeks now x

That's good! Hopefully it'll go away soon ☺️ x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
