Lightening crotch? Oh yeah. Not fun times 
nothing helps either you can prop your feet up, that might work, others it makes the pain worse and walking and doing stretches helps. Nothing worked for me personally

Lightening can happen weeks before your due date. I walked around at 4cm dilated for 3 weeks because my oldest decided to engage early. Meanwhile, my youngest was still at -1 station when I was fully dilated at 41 weeks.
Omgg yess it stops me in my tracts

You can get it at any time during pregnancy usually between second and third trimester and is no indicator of labor or impending labor

Yes with all three of mine, and it got worse with each pregnancy. By the third I mean it was stopping me dead in my tracks, it hurt so bad but thankfully doesnt last long.

Yes of course. Very weird feeling and get readyā¦walking is a mission!!! But all worth it. Its all a wonderful, beautiful, crazy experience. Its a blessing.
Absolutely, also referred to as ācrotch lighteningā by many women who experience it. And it feels just like it sounds. Very common, especially when baby drops lower. Painful as F**K, feels like the baby is heel stomping your cervix with stiletto heels 
.
Oh thatās the absolute worst! I remember there being work outs you can do to help with the pain. Ask your Dr.
Yes I did when they baby dropped.
Basically everyone has lol its the same thing as baby dropping just the medically correct term
Yes im 32 weeks and have had it for the last two weeks. Its terrible and jist uncomfortable.
