3rd Trimester

Round ligament pain?

Hello Mommas!  I thought I saw a post a day or so ago on round ligament pain but now I can't find it so I will ask again.  Is round ligament pain something that we can experience in the third trimester?  I had this pain in the second trimester but I was not sure if it was something that could stick around or come back in the third trimester.  It feels just like it did in the second trimester but I wanted to get opinions to make sure it was not something else that I might be experiencing.  I have no bleeding and no discharge.  Thanks very much for your help!

Re: Round ligament pain?

  • Your belly and therefore the muscles and ligaments are still stretching, so to me it makes sense that you could continue to experience RLP from it.

  • Yep. I had RLP my entire 3rd Tri. After I delivered my ligaments were actually more sore than anything else, but the pain went away in a day or two.

    But, (as always), if you're concerned, you can always call your OB Smile

  • I never had RLP until about two weeks ago, so yes it's possible in the 3rd tri.

  • I have had round ligament pain since about week 22.  It's mainly on the left side, but now starting to be all over.  I recently slipped and it's now much much worse - I'm having trouble walking at all today.

    I would say yes, you can have RL pain in the 3rd Tri.

    Hope it isn't too painful for you!

  • My doctor also said it was due to holding the weight of baby.  I bring it up every appt and they say it's fine
  • I've had it pretty much constantly since the early 20's weeks - some days are worse than others, it depends how much I move around and how much time I spend on my feet, but it's definitely here in the third trimester!
