2nd Trimester

Round ligament pains?

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my third a little girl. I have 2 boys 7 & 5. I know it's been a while... But I feel like I'm having A LOT of pain cramping tightness in my lower abdomen. The doctor says it's round ligament pain, but I never remember this with my boys. I got in really good shape before I got pregnant with #3 so maybe my muscles are stretching, but u wondered if anyone else was feeling this or experienced this.

  • Sounds like normal pregnancy pains

  • I was told by my midwife that round ligament pain tends to get worse with each subsequent pregnancy. This sounds totally normal.

  • Yep, I get it too, pretty much exactly as you described, OP. My doctor says it's normal.
