The technical term is 'fanny daggers' Grin

Fanny daggers! Also known as lightening crotch pain, I don't know how this a huge pregnancy secret tbh! I was massively alarmed when I had my first one, I had no idea it was even a thing! x

Yep, fanny daggers! 28 weeks today and not a sign of them yet but I’m sure they’re on their way.
