It’s a pain that can stop you in your tracks - literally.
One of those might be pelvic pain, which is sometimes referred to as “lightning crotch.” But is lightning crotch a sign of labor?Ĭhances are, you’ve probably experienced lightning crotch as part of your pregnancy journey, even if you didn’t have a name for it. Apart from perpetual trips to the potty, though, you might feel other ailments, especially in the third trimester as your body prepares for birth. Waking up every half hour to pee? Well, that's a great way to prep for the sleep deprivation you're going to experience in the newborn months. When you’re pregnant, you can expect to experience a slew of new sensations - and most of them happen in your nether regions.
