Oooo lightning crotch... I do not miss that!!!!.
For me the start of contractions was like a mild cramp in my lower abdomen in the middle, nothing compared to any of the pain I actually had in pregnancy which progressively got stronger Seems more like baby is sitting awkwardly for you if it's only the shooting pains
Could be lightning crotch? That description sounds like it. Nerve pain..ish. Electric shock type pain. Usually when they're bouncing up and down on the nerves in your cervix 😫
