24 weeks - weird feeling down there and tightening boobs?!

It has felt like baby keeps kicking me down there today, really weird sensation in my vagina and about 4 or 5 times now I've had my boobs suddenly 'tighten' and have that let down feeling but only minimal leaking

I feel ridiculous ringing the maternity unit with this so someone come and tell me this is normal. Boobs are doing it again as I type and it hurts and feels just like when I was breastfeeding my first - never had this feeling during pregnancy before.

Ok it's not listed anywhere online as a sign of pre term labour so that's calmed me somewhat - is there anything else this is a warning flag for or is it just pregnancy?

My breats constantly leaked when I was pregnant with DC1, from 15 weeks till I gave birth! I had to wear breast pads for the whole time, and had to change them twice a day as they would be soaked! Nothing to worry about, it happens to some women during pregnancy and not others. And the feeling down there I believe is called 'lightening crotch' and is also normal x

I’m constantly being pummelled in the vagina/cervix by my little monster. I’m 25 weeks. I’ll be fine then, driving along and she wallops me. Nearly swerved on the motorway today!

Oh I am so glad I found this thread! I am 23+3 today I have felt this weird sudden sharp pains down there too.. I was scared in the beginning, spoke to my mw but she dismissed it saying it's unlikely the baby is kicking down there😬

I couldn't resist googling, which says it's called lightening crotch! Happens when baby kicks down there.. it's a bit of conflicting information between the mw and the Google.. just hope it's a normal happening in pregnancy🤞🏻
