Hi, i'm over 18 weeks pregnant with twins and keep feeling shooting pains in my vaginal area, they are not excruciating but can feel them - any ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: This sensation of a stabbing or shooting sensation in the vagina is common. Twins can make it more so just from the additional weight and pressure of the uterus. A warm bath may help, lying down may help too. Getting in a pool. Typically this pain is continuous and unlike cramping pain. Preterm labor pain is often episodic, coming in waves, whereas this pain is continuous. Hope that helps!
