Lightning crotch?

So today all throughout the day I have been getting this stabbing pain in my vagina. =( It lasts for quite a few seconds too and is extremely painful. I really feels like someone just stuck a knife up there and is stabbing. Is this what "lightning crotch" feels like? I really have no idea, I've felt this before but not as bad and it didn't last as long.

I have heard the term and assume that's what it is. I've been having really bad pain as well, mostly when I feel like I have to go to the bathroom and while I'm in the bathroom. Sometimes even in the middle of walking. Not fun but I suppose it just comes with the territory! :)

I liken it to feeling like I have been kicked in the crotch by someone wearing steel toe boots.

Yes, it's awful.  I usually get it when I stand up after peeing and sometimes I have to stand there and can't walk for a minute or two.

Yup!  Fun isn't it?!  My son has lodged his head in my pelvis - which is great and perfectly normal but also the most painful experience I have had this entire pregnancy.  The doctor says that once the area stretches the pain should lessen.

OH yes.  The lightening crotch almost brings me to my knees these days.  God, it is awful.  Still not sure what causes those shooting pains, but I've had it with all three pregnancies.  I find this time around to be the worst though.

I have a form of this.  When I've been on my feet too long, it feels like all the blood rushed there.  Then I pay for it until I get adequate rest.  So after a long day of shopping last Saturday, for 2 or 3 nights, every time I'd get out of bed or turn over in bed, I'd get horrible pains down there!  Not fun.
