Should I have lightening at 32 Weeks?

Question

I’m 32 weeks and have been having lightening feelings for at least a week. I keep reading it means baby will be here in the next 2-4 weeks... is that true? 😃👶🏻

Answer

when I googled it it said 2-4 weeks delivery which panicked me as I'm only 31 plus 4 and I've had them for a week! guess I've fallen victim the Googling, hearing other people hold on until due dates has made me feel better!

Answer

lightening??

Answer

Lightning crotch is literally what it’s called and I’m 33 weeks and still get it here and there! Man, it sucks! Lol.
If ur ever unsure, call your doctor.
But, my doctor told me to worry only if I get period like cramps, lower back pain, or contractions (tightening, almost like you’re doing a sit-up) you’ll know it’s a real contraction if you drink water and change position and it’s still there in an hour.

Answer

I don’t know anything about it meaning baby is coming within 2-4 weeks... with my last pregnancy I started having that feeling prior to 30 weeks and had my son on his due date

Answer

Def does not mean baby will be here soon I had them since 20 weeks in my first pregnancy all the way until I had my son. Worst experience of my life lol so glad this time around i haven’t gotten any lightning crotch 😖

Answer

I'm starting to get it too. I had it last pregnancy around this time as well and baby came at 38 weeks.

Answer

Nah. It’s just another lovely pregnancy experience 😄
