2nd Trimester

pain right below belly....

I dont think I should be concerned but it's still annoying - anyone else still having this at 17/18 weeks???  I assume it's just "growing" pains since I dont have bleeding or anything else!?!

Re: pain right below belly....

  • I still have it too.

  • And my right side hurts as well kinda like I pulled a muscle - what an awesome monday.  At least it doesnt hurt too bad while I'm sitting down.  It's more when I get up and walk.
  • Me, too! But if you are concerned or if it's different to the pain/cramping you usually experience, I would suggest calling your doc.

  • It's RLP. I still get them from time to time, and I wake up with a bigger bump. You continue to grow, the stretching is not stopping at 17 wks.

    I thought about calling but last time I was there the Dr. said it was normal.  Doesnt help I bit the dust saturday night either.  I figure it's just growing pains and it doesnt hurt while sitting - if it was a cause for cocern I figured it would be hurting no matter what position I was in?!?!! 

  • Yes!  Mine was so bad on Friday I ended up calling the Doctor, just to make sure what I was experiencing was normal.  I seriously felt like I did 500 crunches!  It was so bad.  Today it is better, but they come and go.  The nurse told me that it is completely normal as 15-19 weeks can be a big growth spurt for baby and they are just making room!

     What's RLP stand for again?? Round ligament......right?  I shouldnt really be concerned unless I have spotting - right?

  • My belly is sore too.  I'm thinking it's just normal, since it's not earth-shattering type pain. Not like this ridiculous headache I have.

  • I have it.  I think it's RLP since everything is stretching.  LO is growing!!
  • RLP is more internal, if you are feeling it on the outside, it's your ab muscles stretching.. and since we are all going to get bigger, it's not going to go away. ?I'm carrying high and huge. ?My doctor ruled out UTIs and a couple of other things, but she told me to get one of those support bands/braces. ?
