Lightening??? Whats ut feel like?

Question

My first child was born at 7 months due to emergency c section bc my kidneys started shutting down due to preeclampsia. I am now 33 weeks + 4 days pregnant with my son and all day have been having these shocks in my lower abdomen. I have never felt what this "lightening" thing is nor have i felt labor pains.  Ladies can you give me some insight on these feelings to the best of ur ability? Idk what these cramps are that i am experiencing. 
Thank u so much

Answer

Per my doctor it's normal, baby is just on a nerve.. The pain is awfull!! 😁

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and 4 days and I've had what I assume is "lightening crotch" it feels like someone is stabbing/electrocuting/shocking me in my vagina. It is so painful, it comes out of no where and I've had them really consistently... I'm nervous that something might be wrong but I guess it's normal. I go to my doctor on Friday and I'm going to request they check me because I can barely walk at this point 😖

Answer

Lightening is normal I'm 36+2 and I've been having it since about 30 weeks .

Answer

Well there is "lightening" where your baby drops down into your pelvis and readies for birth....then there is "lightening crotch" lol which feels like shocks in your pelvic floor.  Sometimes it has me walking like a weirdo with my legs as closed as I can because they are so intense....it's horrible.
