Shooting pain in vagina?

Hey all, after stretching this morning I had sharp pain shooting on my left side of my vagina. It’s been off and on but mostly a dull pain at this point. This is my first pregnancy, but I’m assuming this is round ligament pain? It’s been going on most of today.

That would be my guess as well. Sometimes mine is so bad I can’t stand up straight for a bit while it fades

@Kelcey ugh how terrible! Anything help ease it for you?

That ma’am is called lighting crotch, also happens to your butthole to eventually or both at the same time, it’s usually caused because of the position of the baby on ur pelvic floor or your uterus stretching , it’s normal and harmless just painful , got it yesterday after getting out the shower because of baby girls position, she eventually heard me crying in pains from it and move 😂

drink cold water usually it goes away if it’s severe like happening a lot just take 2 Tylenols

@Janessa omg why don’t they warn us? 😂

@Mia I have no idea, I use to get it when I had my period so it’s something that’s always been there it’s just even worst now because a babies in there doing her thing 😂 so bad to the point it’s hard to stand when it happens

@Mia I haven’t gotten lightning crotch yet but that definitely could be another option. I just stay leaned over and breathe until it passes and then slowly stretch the ligament back out until I’m fully standing

If it gets worse, you might have SPD, otherwise I agree, it sounds like lightening crotch. If it does get worse look into pelvic floor therapy!

Try stretching your Adductors and sit evenly especially on soft surfaces like your sofa. Try using a pillow between your legs when you sleep.

Lightning crotch. So fun, and it catches you at the best moments. Lol. It does get worse as baby gets bigger, but shouldn't be constant.
