17+1 with 2nd baby. I sometimes get a pain in the wall of my vagina like a sharp shoot, it happens just once and then stops. It's just happened again and was quite intense, stopped me in my tracks. Should I be worried? I'm not sure whether to call the midwife now or wait until 8th when I'll mention it to the consultant. Can anyone help?

Fanny daggers. It's normal unfortunately.

Completely normal chick. As PP said we refer to them as fanny daggers haha. I think it's just baby kicking or resting on a nerve for a second. I had mine from the middle of the second trimester on, they don't mean anything just part and parcel of pregnancy :)
