37 weeks, lightning crotch?

[Dannilion]

So this is a term I've just made up to make humour out of my agony but has anyone else experienced this? I actually dread baby moving these days.

It sometimes feels like she is actually electrocuting my cervix, it's different from when she kicks my bladder or any other part of me. It actually makes me yelp in pain!

She's on the 90th percentile, head down and 3/5th engaged..If that counts for anything.

Or maybe I'm just losing the plot completely, so fed up with being pregnant! My feet have turned into a memory foam mattress and my eye won't stop twitching either. Waaa.

Yup I'm 35 weeks and been having it for a couple of weeks. Very odd sensation! Literally like being electrocuted in the crotch...no advice really other than it seems worse when I'm really busy and when I'm dehydrated.

I sometimes get something a bit like this, it's a very sharp, 'electric' type sensation, but mine does feel as if it's connected to my bladder. It also makes me wince. I put it down to him/her pressing on a nerve. Mine's also 3/5 engaged, although this started happening before that, I think.

Presumably if you're 3/5 engaged you've not long to go now? I'm 37 wks and had a massive 'I don't want to be pregnant anymore' meltdown a week or so ago. Pregnancy feels like it lasts FOREVER. But it doesn't, and it will be over soon! Although, I still want to punch in the face all the friends/ family who say when talking about my imminent due date, 'gosh, hasn't that flown by...'

So glad I'm not the only one! DM looked at me like I'd finally gone overboard when I tried to explain.

Haha yes city, everyone is gleefully telling me how it has 'just flown by' and how 3 weeks is 'nothing', whilst I struggle to squeeze my pre-pregnant size 4 feet into some size 7 shoes DP had to buy me in primark the other day, in order to crawl to the Drs and pick up my prescription for my SPD and reflux issues. Yep, flown by

My estate agent said the other day how she feels the same way I do about being pregnant. She's 15 weeks, still in her beautiful smart dresses and 6" heels. Oh, how I laughed hysterically. And then cried

Oh yes. The only shoes that fit me are my running trainers and fortunately my work shoes are roomy (I have one week left to work!).

Dan you need to meet up with that estate agent when she's about to drop with a smug face on!

I'm also getting this. I keep grabbing DH and yelling!

Weirdly, I also have a twitchy eye - thought it was just me!

I'm also 37 years weeks pregnant.

Just realised I could also claim sponsorship fees from the word 'actually' after my OP. I had a broad vocabulary once, honest.

My feet have grown too! So fecking annoying. I had wide feet to start with, now they're like a pair of flippers. And as I refuse to buy more shoes (on the hope that they'll shrink back down once the relaxin goes away) my poor little toes have taken a beating - so much I had to get the corn that's developed on one of them sawn off by the podiatrist last week. Oh, the glamour!
