Question about Round Ligament Pain

in July 2012 Moms

Last night I began having a pain in my lower abdomen/pelvis that feels like a torn muscle..is this what round ligament pain feels like? It's really sore and even more so when I walk.

If so, what did you do to alleviate it....how long did it last?

 

TIA!

    My round ligament pain was always either on my left side or right side lower abdomenal. The way i always made the pain bareable was to take some Tylonel, and/or take a warm bath. Mine last through my entire pregnancy with DS1 and so far it looks like the same thing with DS 2 but if you are having pain in your lower center of your abdomenal/pelvis maybe you should either call your doctor or bring it up at your next appointment. Try a warm heating pad on low, tylenol and a warm bath. Hopefully it will make it a lil bareable. I dont think taht there is really anyway to get it to just go away. So you got about three more months of it hun if it is your round ligament. Hang in there mama. You are almost there. :)

    Ok, mine is on the left side mainly (not in the center). It feels like I've done 200 sit-ups! :)

     

    thanks!

    I've had RLP, but I've also had what you're describing. To me it felt like the muscles were ripping apart across my abdomen. I think that might be what it actually is. I had it for a day and then woke up the next morning with my belly much more 'popped' with no more pain. Since the pain didn't last and clearly felt like outside muscle pain and not baby pain I didn't worry about it.

    Mine feels exactly like that. The first time I thought I had a ruptured ovarian cyst and the second time I thought I tore something. Walking made it infinitely worse. The only thing that helped me was resting and heat (very limited use of the heating pad, which my doctor wholeheartedly approved).
