Growing pains

Hugheser2014

Hey all!  This is my first pregnancy, i'm 19 weeks, and have had an increase in what i'm assuming to be round ligament pain.  I just saw the doctor last week for my anatomy scan, and everything was normal, it's a boy!  I'm noticing small twinges of pain several times a day now around in my uterus.  Is this pretty normal in your pregnancy experience as pregnancy progresses, to get more of what i like to call "growing pains"?

yes, it's normal. Mine have gotten worse and worse the larger I've grown. It's really bad at night when I turn from side to side...like a charley horse in your pelvis! not fun but worth it.

My doctor said it was normal, especially throughout your second tri. We are growing and it's going to be a bit painful! If it really bothers you, give your doctor a call, that's what they are there for!

I experienced a similar type of pain when I was around the point where you currently are (I'm 27 weeks now). I was told that it was totally normal, but it helped my peace of mind to mention it to my doctor and have her tell me that instead of doing Internet research on my own. If it keeps up and makes you nervous, it never hurts to mention it just to be reassured, but I'm sure you're fine. 

Congrats on finding out that your baby is healthy and growing.
