Round Ligament Pain

Anyone else experiencing? Last night was the first time and I was in tears. I didn't want to call the on call OB so I called my nurse line and they gave me some tips (lay on my left side (pain was on my right) with my knees up to my chest and a pillow between them with a warm washcloth) but I was still up all night in pain and now my left hip is killing me! It's a blessing I have the ability to work from from once in a while because there is no way I could have made it this morning. Anyone else experiencing this and have you done anything different to ease the pain?

  • I have been experiencing it since week 5 but for me it just lasts a couple seconds. It happens once or twice a day when I get up too fast or sneeze.

  • It's been happening to me as well. Sometimes it's if I get up to fast the sharp pains will shoot through my lower stomach and other times I don't have to be doing anything and they'll hit.
  • I would stretch my hips out and sometimes lay a cool rag over my stomach (the pain would make me sweat). I was told not to worry as long as I'm not bleeding but it's definitely no fun. Now it's mainly on one side and worse at night.
  • I rolled over wrong (like a weird twisting motion i would do fine before baby) and it felt like someone ripped a knife through my right side. I had to lay there for a minute just to catch my breath.
