RLP- anyone having it?

ellemoney:)

I had pain last night, almost all night, & then as soon as I woke up this morning. ?It's hurting worse than I thought RLP did with Layla (or maybe I didn't have it when I was pg with her.. b/c this *hurts*).?

I called my Dr who is moving b/c the new one hasn't called me yet. ?The receptionist or nurse who answered kind of just brushed me off & said it's probably RLP & to lay on my side. ?After I just told her no matter what I do, it really hurts. ?Maybe she didn't realize I meant lay, stand, walk, etc. ?Anyways.

So she said to lay on my side & take tylenol but that that's what it sounds like to her. ?She didn't even say call back if it doesn't go away. ?She just said I think that's what it is.

I do not remember having this with Layla. ?OMG it hurts. ?:( ??

Like how bad does it hurt?  Sometimes, mine feels like cramps did, and other times, if I make a jerking move, it hurts really bad and then goes away.

Call them back. I have had RLP pain but it didn't last very long.

This is what I have experienced too--very quick pains so it sounds like yours could be something else.  I would call back.

Ugh. I am so aggravated being in limbo.?

She kind of acted like if it wasn't contractions (she asked me if it was like contractions) then it wasn't a big deal to her.

This is what mine feels like too.  One day I felt a sharp pain everytime I sat in a certain position, but it went away as soon as I switched positions.  To OP, if yours is more severe than what you remember from your first pregnancy or isn't going away, I would call back and ask to be seen.

If it really is RLP there isn't much they can do for it at all so maybe that is why she didn't sound very helpful.  Usually if I lay down or sit is doesn't hurt as much.  However there are times it hurts a lot if I'm standing for a long time or if I get up fast. It isn't a fun pain, yesterday I had to sit down and let DH finish cooking dinner it hurt so much.  However there isn't much we can do.  You can try ice or heat but u have to keep it away from the uterus which is hard to do.  I have been just sucking it up but did take a tylenol yesterday.  I hope it gets better.

Mine last for a long time I have been getting them off and on now for I think about 2 or more weeks and when they bother me it is most of the day.

Mine usually only happens if I turn really quickly or get out of bed too fast. It feels like a searing pain, usually to one side.

I had RLP one night that hurt so bad that I called my doctor because I was worried. She basically gave me the same advice as yours. The only recommendation that she gave me was to do some stretching such as the cat/cow poses. This actually helped me.

The worst my RLP pain was when I was driving home from work in about my 19th week.  I started crying and when I got home I had to crawl up the stairs to let my dog out of his crate.  It was intense pain for about an hour, but then it just sort of went away.  I talked to my Dr. about it at my next appt. and he said that the pain can really get that intense. 

If it doesn't start going away then I would probably schedule an appt. just to be sure.  You are the best judge of what may or may not be normal for your own body.
