Lightning Crotch??

Lauren

Hi ladies! I’m 36+1 and the last few days I’ve had sharp pains... some feel reminiscent of late labor, but others just a shooting pain in vagina, sometimes lower abdomen. Everything I look up says it’s normal... possibly even a sign of dilating. But DAMN this hurts. Midwife says discomfort is a good sign at this stage. Anyone else in the same boat?
