lighting crotch - baby breaking out!

A
So this is my fifth baby and I have never had such bad lighting crotch. Ow! With my others it felt like they were head butting my vagina and it hurt, but this baby literally takes my breath away and will do it for up to an hour.
I can handle pain , but just wondering if anyone else has lightning crotch worse than other pregnancies. The other day I was in the store and had to sit down and stretch out because I was afraid my water was going to break. I honestly don't know how he can punch head butt me so hard and not break my water ! I also will have consistent contractions afterwards but they always only last a couple hours...
