Groin pain! Well this is new. Ideas?

Question

38 weeks today. Have had sciatica issues for the last week. Chiropractic visit didnt help today which is unusual. But about mid day suddenly my groin hurts! Like I pulled a muscle on each side. It has only gotten worse through the day so that now I can barely waddle. Baby still doesn't look like he dropped at all. What the heck did I do to myself? 😩

Answer

I've been having groin pain too! Definitely not lightning crotch.. it's the groin, not my lady bits that hurt. Feels like sudden cramping, sometimes it lasts an instant, other times it lasts maybe 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it's only on one side or the other, sometimes it's both sides. I assume it's caused by increased pressure down there due to baby dropping, but it's not fun at all. I'm 39 +5 and have been experiencing it on and off for about a week and a half.

Answer

I’ve been having this too!! Makes it so painful to walk and get up 😭

Answer

It's called 'lightning crotch' and can be very painful. For me it feels really sore and almost like my vagina wants to fall out lol
