Round ligament pain: - GL, hope you feel better soon.

What is round ligament pain?

Round ligament pain generally refers to a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting dull ache that pregnant women commonly feel in the lower abdomen or groin, starting in the second trimester.

You may feel round ligament pain as a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting out of bed or out of a chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. You may feel it as a dull ache after a particularly active day ? when you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity.

The round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes can occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen.

You may feel the pain starting from deep inside your groin, moving upward and outward on either side to the top of your hips. The pain is internal, but if you were to trace it on your skin, it would follow the bikini line on a very high-cut bathing suit.

When should I call my doctor or midwife?

The sharp, jabbing type of round ligament pain shouldn't last longer than the few seconds in which you're changing position or getting up. Don't hesitate to call your caregiver any time abdominal aches or pains continue after a short rest or are accompanied by:

?  Severe pain or cramping, or more than four contractions in an hour (even if they don't hurt)

?  Low back pain, especially if you didn't previously have back pain, or an increase in pressure in the pelvic area (a feeling that your baby is pushing down)

?  Bleeding, spotting, or a change in the type or amount of vaginal discharge

?  Fever, chills, faintness, or nausea and vomiting

?  Pain or burning when you urinate

Thank you

Sounds like it could be a UTI. I had a horrible one pre-preg and that's how I felt, it hurt to sit, walk, lay down, etc. I didn't know what to do with myself. I would call the doc if I were you.
