Bump Discomfort?

Anyone else having dull pains - kind of like cramping - in various places when they stand up from sitting, or even just while you're sitting still? I'm not sure if it's round ligament pain or something else. It's my first pregnancy and I'm the first one in my family, so I don't really have people to ask. 

At my last doppler, the RN had to chase around the baby for a while before finding the heartbeat, and said it was really active - maybe this could be the cause? 

Thoughts appreciated!

Re: Bump Discomfort?

  • I'm having the same.. FTM at 20 weeks. Apparently my little guy likes to burrow into my pelvis so that could be why. Also you have to consider there's a lot of growing and stretching going on in there right now!
    I think it's totally normal. I've had the 'bad' kind of cramping before and it will literally have you doubled over in pain. As long as it's mild and comes and goes you should be fine.

  • Yes! Here's my uneducated thought on why this happens, I think it's because when I lay down my uterus settles in, and then when I stand up it falls back where it's supposed to be. I know that sounds stupid but that's what I think happens
  • Sounds like round ligament!
  • There are always weird and different pains everyday.  And in different places.  I think it is just stretching, moving and round ligament pain.  Last night I was having weird "poo cramp" like pains right below my belly button.  My vagina feels bruised all the time from running and working out.
