round ligament pain- how painful is it for you?

Runner313

This morning I went for a jog and had to stop because my right side hurt so much. Then I couldn't walk so I had to call my husband to come pick me up. If you are having round ligament pain, how bad is it? A friend of mine had it where she couldn't walk but I have never experienced anything thus far like what I did this morning. I am assuming it is round ligament pain but I am a FTM and therefore cannot be sure about anything. Any pointers on how to handle this? Thanks!

I was 17 weeks last week and I had it throughout the whole week last week. Never to the point I couldn't walk but I felt like laying down a lot to relax.

I started having it a bit the past week.  Only when I stand up too fast, or have a forceful sneeze, but nothing overly painful.  Sometimes it stops me in my tracks for a second, but goes away quickly.

I'm wondering if that's what I'm feeling. I've had a couple incidents of RLP when standing up or coughing/sneezing. Those have been sharp pains that only last a couple of seconds.

This week I have a similar pain but it's more dull and is constant when I'm standing/walking. I've been trying to figure out what it is and the only thing I can come up with is RLP. Although, I'm feeling it mostly right where I'm feeling the baby (on the right side in the lower part of my uterus--kinda between my pelvic bone and my hip) so maybe it's just the baby kicking away? What do you think?

I've had 2 types of RLP:

-The sharp/jabbing/ripping pain from moving too quickly, sneezing, etc.  That is horrific pain that lasts a couple of seconds.  If it lasted longer than that, I wouldn't be able to function.  But it's really quick and while it's alarming, it goes away so fast that it's not a big deal.

-The pulled muscle feeling in my uterus that just lingers for hours or even days.  It's painful, but tolerable.  Like I did too many sit ups.  On days when this type of RPL seems to flare up, I try to take it easy, stay hydrated, and just wait for it to pass.

I actually had it more around weeks 13 to 15 and haven't really had any the last few weeks but when I do it is a sudden, sharp and fast pain. It goes away before I can really complain about it. Usually when I stand up quickly or have a sneaky sneeze.

I'm 17 weeks now and honestly the pain varies. Sometimes it's just annoying and goes away...but then I have days like last week where I sneezed and was shocked by the pain.

Yes, this is what is happening to me. Thanks to all of you ladies for your responses! I am feeling better now, the pain just comes and goes for a split second.

This past weekend it seemed to be happening a whole heck of a lot.  It made me catch my breath a couple of times and stopped me in my tracks once or twice.  Each time seemed to pass after 10-15 seconds if I stayed still, and each time occurred after a quick-ish movement from me (especially any twisting).

I wish I had pointers to deal with it.  My answer was, move slowly and try to avoid twisting.  It made me pretty whiny yesterday, but thankfully seems to have improved today.

I don't think I've had any. I have dull, achy pain, but nothing sharp.
