RLP?

Last night I started having this pain on the right side of my abdomen, sort of like a muscle cramp feeling. At first I thought it was just gas pain, since I had just eaten dinner, but then it got worse. It was a pretty consistent dull ache, that would stab when I moved certain ways or when I went to the bathroom (weird). I had it all night long, to one degree or another (sleeping was not fun) and still have it this morning, although it is not as bad as it was. I am not running a fever and I have felt LO moving around some. I am thinking this is RLP, but I thought I would check with you ladies to make sure I shouldn't be calling my Dr. TIA!

Re: RLP?

  • It sounds like the same feeling I've had.  I think it's probably RLP, massaging the area helped mine to go away.  It felt like an over-stretched muscle, or like when you get a stitch in your side from running.

  • "Always call the doctor if you are concerned about it" is what I am constantly (and mostly obnoxiously) told.  But I had the same type of pain Sunday.  It started after I went to the bathroom and was dull unless I stood straight up-which I avoided doing at all costs.  The doctor told me it was probably either the baby on a nerve or maybe he/she had kicked or stretched out a muscle.  It was a miserable night's 'rest' but I haven't felt it since then.  Get some stretch mark cream and ask DH to rub the belly for you...that seemed to help relieve it some while I still felt it.
