Stitch - like Pains in Side and under belly

I left a message for the phone nurse, but I am wondering if any of you have had this and what you did.

I am having sharp pain on my left side and wrapping under my belly (33+2 weeks). I can closest relate it to a constant stitch like you get from running. I've had it going on a half hour, and it is now wrapping around to my back. No bleedkng, leaking, or increased discharge. Does not feel like I am having contractions with it.

Wondering if I should use ice, heat, or both to treat? Laying down with some hot cider and a heating pad right now. Giving it 20 min to go away (been 40 min already,) or calling the nurse back.

    @nursesouder‌ I am going to try a bath when my husband gets home from work in twenty minutes, my three year old son is being particularly needy right now (of course ) It's been about an hour and is starting to calm with the heating pad. Thank you.

    Heating pad has helped. Without contractions, extreme pressure, or low back pain, the nurse thinks it's muscle or ligaments. Tylenol, heat, and rest. She also recommended getting a support belt. Going shopping after work tomorrow - too snowy to go now.

    Yep I get this alllll the time on my left side. Ligaments! Heat helps. As does Tylenol.

    I've been getting pain like this too off and on. Today is started when I coughed and took forever to go away. No fun! Glad the heat helped you. I don't remember this from my first pregnancy but I guess every one is different. Hope you're feeling better!

    Sounds like the round ligament pains that I have been getting a lot this pregnancy.  The doctor says they are common and she is not concerned.  Hope you are feeling better!

    I had this a couple weeks ago.  I was concerned so my doctor had me come in- everything checked out fine- she said it was most likely ligament pain, or just the baby hitting a nerve or something.  I took a bath and put a heating pad on it and it was gone by the next day.
