For the last 24 hrs my vag has been so achey, to the point it's actually making me yelp out in pain when I move. I know baby has been head down for a while as I had to have scans at 27 + 30 weeks. It feels like the head Is trying to push out which I know probably sounds ridiculous.
Do you know what this could be? its my first baby and I'm a little baffled

I believe the following terms are used for this-

Fanny Daggers
Lightning Crotch

Not nice, used to get some that made my knees wobble. Pregnancy is so glamorous.

Could also be the baby pressing on a nerve, speak to the midwife if you are worried though :)

Fanny daggers I'm afraid. 32 weeks here and it was really bad a few weeks ago. I think baby has shifted because it's not as bad now. Hope it gets better for you!
