Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
The lightning crotch is a pain that shoots to the pelvis during pregnancy. Does it affect the baby during pregnancy?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
No, the pain is felt only by the mother, and it does not affect the baby. As the baby grows, the gravid uterus puts pressure on the lower limbs and nerves causing shooting pain. The baby is always comfortable, and it is well protected within the uterus.
