Shooting pains

I’ve been having shooting pains in the pelvic area since week 34, this is the baby engaging. It’s getting worse (I’m now 38 weeks).

could just be good ol’ lightning crotch, it’s when baby is very low down in your pelvis, completely normal but if you’re concerned speak to your midwife or head up and get seen by someone💕

Thank you both! I am 38 weeks, so probably very likely his head is engaged xx

I’m 38+1 today and I had this exact thing last night, they were weirdly at equal intervals but it did feel like a very painful lightning crotch! Freaked me out but stopped when I laid down 🤷🏻‍♀️
