Pain in the Side

Hhaber

Hi Ladies,

I know you are not Dr. Google, and I have visited Dr. Google and called L&D, but they didn't seem too concerned. I am wondering if any of you have had a side pain that almost feels like a running cramp? I have had one for 3 days now and it just hurts. I thought at first it was a RLP since it definitely feels like muscle, but it just won't stop. Since the pain is not accompanied by discharge or bleeding and my LO is still loving around, L&D told me it's probably just the way she is positioned or something. I am just concerned that it has been constant for 3 days. I suppose it would be reassuring to know I am not alone and this is just a general pregnancy discomfort. Anyone out there experienced this?

I had similar pain that was also consistent and my doc told me it was the side abdominal muscle (I can't think of the right name of the muscle). After a few days it went away. Hang in there!

Same here. My OB said it was just ligaments stretching, but it seriously HURTS. She said it was basically because that area has been pretty much untouched all of pregnancy, but now that baby is bigger and running out of room, she's trying to find any place to stretch out. She suggested to put something cold on it for about 10 minutes, then remove it.

Yes. My OB thinks it's just RLP or something of that variety.

Thank you all. I figured it was RLP or some stretching pains. It is just so uncomfortable. I have been struggling to find positions to sit in at work that feel somewhat better.  Think I may be leaving early today...
