Literally feels like my vagina is bruised

Could it be a thing called lightening crotch? Maybe Google it, I wouldn't personally describe it as feeling bruised, but it is a shooting pain? I didn't really get it with my first, but with my second I definitely have 😅

When I move it's a shooting pain but if I'm sitting and get up to move or change position it's like an ache/pain 😂 I'm terrible at describing things

Yea my vagina hurts ever since hitting 35 weeks. She is head down and I was like oh she needs to drop soon and my midwife was like, if she drops anymore she is gonna come out 😂

Yeah lots of increased blood flow and pressure can do that!

Yes! Baby is definitely not in my pelvis but I often feel so bruised when I've been sat down or walk! It always seems worse in the evenings for me!

I’ve had this since 10 weeks pregnant and was told it’s pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Midwives all told me that it’s my hormones relaxing and getting ready for birth - it is not relaxing. It’s painful some days more than others and I get it more when I use my right leg. Sadly I have abductor issue too so can’t stretch but Google stretches for PGP and see if that helps.

My vagina feels bruised and it's so difficult to get from sitting to standing, walking, getting in and out of bed etc.. I'm waddling like a duck. I'm pretty sure it's pelvic girdle pain and I have been referred to physio x
