Okay guys, please help put our minds at ease on this one.
I started having growing pains quite early (around week 13) and until now, it's always been movement aggravated and quite sharp. The last couple days, I've been having a heavy dull ache in my belly that just wont go away. It's worryingly a lot like the aches I get before my nastier periods but it does ease if I'm on my stomach. I've read Ligament pain can be like this too but the sudden change in sensation accompanied by on and off lower back ache is troubling.
Re: Round Ligament Pain
Thanks guys, this has really helped. It was starting to get to a point where my response to queries was 'some hours are better than others.' I was thinking to put in a call to our MW later today but from what you say, it sounds like standard RLP. It can probably wait until when we go for our scan next Friday (20wks anomaly - gender time!!!)
