I've been having this weird pain tonight starting at my right hip and extending inwards (right under my belly). It's sort of a sharp pain that feels a bit like a pulled muscle. I'm wondering if I just moved the wrong way today, or maybe it's just baby and belly pressing down on my hip? LO has been extremely active today with punches and repositioning, so it's also possible that he's just beating me up from the inside out, but I really don't know.
I have an appointment tomorrow for my weekly NST, but there's a chance the office will be closed tomorrow because of weather. Has anyone else experienced this weird pain? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it just another random pregnancy symptom?
My plan for right now is to sleep in the maternity support thingie, and assess how I feel in the morning. I guess I'm just mostly worried because I didn't think I had experienced any contractions, until I went for a NST and it popped up on the monitor. I still haven't actually felt any contractions, but apparently I have been having them occasionally.
Re: Weird pain under belly?
It is a constant dull pain, with some little stabs. It seems to be worse when I walk around, change positions, or cross my legs. I loosened my pants, and that seemed to help a little.
Update: I asked the doctor about it today, and he confirmed that it is just the weight of my stomach pressing down on my hips and lower abdomen. He said it was nothing to worry about.
Sleeping in the maternity support belt last night definitely helped, and it was probably the first good night of sleep that I've had in awhile. I have to remember to keep putting it on before bed. Pregnancy is just sooooo glamorous!
