Lower belly pain?

So this morning I got this weird lower (left side) belly pain. I associated it with having to use the bathroom first thing in am. A few minutes I got the same sharp pain again on same side/location. I'm 34 weeks preg today could it be Braxton? I had it once and had the tightness in belly type contraction but no tightness today. Any ideas? TIA. 

Re: Lower belly pain?

  • Sharp pain on the left side is usually bowel movement pain. 
  • Loading the player...
  • I have had that same pain a couple times. Once it was on the left, and then later on in the week it was on the right. They didn't fit what I would call contractions, I just assumed they were normal pains of my pelvis loosening up a bit getting ready for D Day.

    Could also be round ligament pain. Very common and can be very painful at times. Our bellies are dropping and causing more pulling and stretching in that area.
  • I vote round ligament. It's just now coming back around to bug me. It will be either side, usually when getting up. 
  • Thanks! So far haven't had it again thankfully. We'll see how it goes. 
  • I think I've been getting a similar pain for the past 2-3 days. Like really low (where I'd normally get menstrual cramps), and kind of like kicks/jabs, but that hurt (again, like an acute, focused menstrual cramp)? I often get a few one after the other, and then things calms down. I'd also say likely round ligament pain...things are definitely stretching down there...
  • Ive been getting a lot of things like this too. I have SPD but have determined this is absolutely something else, I suppose it could sort of be RLP but i personally think its just the tendons down there being like holy shit this thing is getting heavy!
