2nd Trimester

Should I be concerned?

I started having this horrible cramp in the lower left abdomen today at work. It was so painful other people started to notice I was in pain. It lasted about 2 hours and slowly faded away. Whenever I would hold something in my left hand or put pressure on my right leg it got much worse.. anyone else experience anything like this?

Re: Should I be concerned?

  • Sorry, I'm no help, but interested to see what others say.  I keep having pain in my lower right side off and on, and have had since about 10 weeks.

  • google RLP or round ligament pain and see if that sounds like it - supposedly that starts up in 2nd tri.

  • Yup, sounds like RLP to me.  I've had it on my right side every now and then the past two weeks.  It can be a very sharp pain!
  • I agree....it's round ligament.  I've gone to the chiropractor for this.  It has defiantly helped!

  • I'm more of a lurker but thought I'd respond. When its on the sides, it's typically round ligament pain. I'm 21 weeks and have it had it consistently over the last several weeks but it usually doesn't last long - just comes and goes. But regardless, I would call your doctor just to be on the safe side. I had really bad abdominal cramps today in the lower center and my doctor wasn't too concerned because I had no other symptoms, but still wanted me to rest and make sure I get a lot of fluids and monitor the symptoms. It's better now, but I'm glad I called my doctor - definitely gave me peace of mind.

  • It sounds like RLP but lasting 2 hrs is a little concerning. I would call your Dr just to check if they want to look at you.
