Uterus stretching...?

tanya_erin · June 2014

Hey mamas,

So I've read lots of symptoms of early pregnancy, but so far nobody has talked about how their uterus hurts / twinges when making sudden movements. Seriously, in the morning, when I'm turning over in bed to get out, I suddenly get these super painful twinges going through my lower abdomen. So painful! Anyone else feel their uterus growing? Is there something to help alleviate this, or will it eventually stop? I'm a 4th time mama, and I don't remember it being this bad any other time.

Round Ligament Pain. I had it with my first and have it again now. I definitely consider it a good sign. Little one is digging in!!

I've been feeling a lot more twinges and pains in my uterus than I remember with my other pregnancies and I'm only 6 weeks along. This is also my #4.

Yes i have that too!! This is my first and i can definitely feel a lot of stretching down there. And have to be careful about bending down or stretching

Mine happens whenever I stretch up or recline back too much! I get this sharp twangy pain down in my lower abdomen to the side. Owie!!

I was my moms 4th and she said she felt EVERYTHING. But she said it was also her easiest labor.

On the topic of this post mine feels sorry if that's makes sense. Not like cramping or anything. But like and achy sore. I remember having it with my first.

Ugh the stretching, already feeling it, always mostly on the right side.

I woke up this morning with bad pains in my lower abdomen and NO nausia... I was partially worried and partially thinking this is normal and thanking god I wasn't nausious.

tanya_erin · June 2014

I've always felt everything re: ovulation, major cramping, etc so this is nothing new I guess. I'm pretty aware of my body... Just unexpected most times!

A severe sharp pain sounds like round ligament pain. It normally happened for me when I made sudden movements. Funny story - the first time it happened to me when I was pregnant with B, I was on a business trip in Germany. I was a FTM, in a foreign country FREAKING out that something that was wrong. I ended up e-mailing my H, and asking him to call the OB to find out if it was anything serious. She said she thought it was RLP, and her best advice was no sudden movements.

I had this a few weeks back, usually when I turned over in bed. It was sharp and painful. Thankfully didn't last long though. Hopefully yours will go away too.

I have that too, round ligament pain, its the worst when I get up suddenly or go to lift my son too quickly. I usually end up doubled over in pain for a few seconds

Sounds like Round Ligament Pain. Sneezing gets me every time!

LittleMsLewis · June 2014

Don't sneeze while driving! RLP is brutal! I guess it's a good sign though.

THIS! The other day I turned my head to sneeze so I wouldn't sneeze at my son and I thought I was dying!

gingerygirl · June 2014

Yep. Yep yep yep. I get this type of pain all the time: if I stretch back to far, if I bend over too far, if I lean to the side too far, basically if I stretch in any sort of way, especially in getting up in the morning.

MrsMCBMar2014 · June 2014

Yes! I coughed the other night and holy shit the pain! Only lasted a minute but oh my God.

Oh i got this the other night, though it did lead to hubby making me sit back down while he got me a bowl of ice cream lol

Sunflower9939 · June 2014

Yep, RLP is always my first pregnancy sign. You might laugh at me but I started feeling it several days before my bfp. That was my first clue that I might be pregnant again.

I'm gal in not the only one.. At first they thought it might be a kidney stone..but it was just RLP..this is my first pregnancy and it freaked me out. I get these cramps often tho and last for several minutes..it's prolly cuz I'm all legs and no Torso so baby is making room for itself.

CanukMam · July 2014

I've had it for weeks now, I don't remember it getting any better with DS1. It's so weird too because it's not like I'm showing at all or have a huge belly. It doesn't feel like I should be having these pains already!

LaBellaVida · July 2014

Oh yes. Rlp. I had it with my all my pregnancies. It only seemed to get worse with each one, and got worse the father along I got. My OB for my 3rd said it felt worse because of how heavy my uti was abs being held up by a few ligaments.
I wore a support brace and it helpeds little.

MoreThanSparrows08 · July 2014

I remember RLP with my first 2, and I know that's what I'm having now, but it just seems to hurt so much more this time around. Every time I stand up, it hurts, and when I sneeze, it's almost like I got stabbed! I find myself having to stop and bend over, then stand up slowly to avoid it.

Bigboneded · July 2014

Never had it first pg. Started up around 8 weeks? I had a friend went to the ER 2nd pg with it, never had it 1rst pg. Sounds like you just dodged that bullet first 3 times @tanya_erin‌ :-)
