Anyone else having severe round ligament pains?

bunny1114 · July 2011

I am 36w and just started to experience severe round ligament pain. By severe, I mean stabbing pains in my lower left abdomen down over my girly bits. It happens when walking, moving from seated position to standing, and also at night when I roll over in bed. Nothing seems to help except to sit or lay without moving - I've tried Tylenol and hot baths. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and this is truly unbearable. Unfortunately I can just sit around and relax, I am still working at my job.

Anyone else experiencing this? Did you find anything to help deal with the pains?

I, too, would love some advice. Mine's on the right side and only a little bit on the left. This sucks! Thankfully pregnancy is temporary!

Yes! I went to the doctor about it and found out I was very dehydrated (even though I drink water all the time). Since then I've felt much better, but I'm still slow.

I get them when I roll over in bed at night. Not fun!! The only thing that helps me is taking a few deep breaths and focusing on relaxing.

Yes, I've had terrible sharp pains for weeks now. They're the worst at night in bed, or for some reason if I turn a certain way to get in my car.

Anyway, my doctor suggest 500mg of Calcium and Magnesium together once a day and it's made such a huge difference!

They were waking me up 3 or 4 times a night, and they're not anymore. Maybe ask your Dr. if you could try it? I told him it worked and I was thrilled!

I get these plus really bad low (really low) back pain. The doctor said because I was carrying low and hadn't really gained any weight anywhere but my front, I might want to try a maternity belt. I did on Saturday morning for a while and Sunday when DH and I went for a walk. It helped, but was kind of uncomfortable. Just taking the weight off my ligaments and nerves for a hour or so seemed to have made it a lot more manageable. A friend gave me two different types to try, I've only tried the under the belly, but I might give the over/under belly one a try tonight to see if it's more comfortable.

I've been dealing with this since week 20 and it sucks. I usually put a heating pad on my back and either an ice pack or hot rice sock where I'm having the pain in the front. I just hope mentally I can hang on until the end because this is truly draining.

I started getting them about 3 weeks ago, I think (HOPE) they have passed though. They were so bad I'd get dizzy, have to lay down and just breathe through it. Just take it as a sign to slow down a few minutes, drink water, and if necessary have a good cry!

i am also a couple weeks behind you, and have these HORRIBLE pains. especially when moving at night, and then after i go to the bathroom at night, during the day i seem to be ok except if i sit too long and then stand up or in the heat i notice i get really bad pain. my doctor told me if they become persistant or i notice an bleeding to go to L&D to be monitored.
