Should I call about this?

Question

I’m 17w4 due July 7th. I’ve been having pretty bad round ligament pain (or at least what I assume is) for a few weeks. Recently it’s gotten to the point that when I stand it hurts so bad I double over, today it’s happened every time I go to stand up. 
There’s no bleeding but the pain shoots across my entire pelvic/hip area and is immobilizing, it’s takes a minute or two to recover. 
Is this something I should call my doctor about even with no bleeding? 
Nothing I google really matches up with what I am experiencing, I know google is just a bad rabbit trail while pregnant but whatever lol

Answer

It's nothing your doctor can do. This is natural. Your hips are spreading and ligaments and uterus are streching to make room for your growing baby. I've had this before moatly when I'd get up to walk and I had to leave work. My doctor told me just to take Tylenol and a warm bath with Epsom salt and rest. It helped and the next day I felt better. You could also have lightening crotch too. I know it's uncomfortable but we all go through it at some point.

Answer

I called my OB for something kinda similar to this. They said it was normal and asked if I was drinking enough water.

Answer

I had the same thing they just told me it’s apart of pregnancy

Answer

I have pretty bad round ligament pain too. When I stand up I can’t even stand straight for a few minutes until I slowly stretch out cuz it hurts.

Answer

Your body is stretching and making room for baby! I’m also 17-4 and it’s really normal. Had my regular OB appointment yesterday. You will tell a lot more of that pain when baby gets a whole lot bigger!!

Answer

I would just mention it at your next appointment but it sounds normal to me!

Answer

I would at least mention it to your doctor because they may have suggestions on what will help! PT or yoga may work wonders. A support belt may also help.

Answer

You could have pressure on the groin. Some people get it and doctors usually recommend a support brace for your tummy
