Round ligament pain or something else?

Question

I’m 21 weeks with my first. This afternoon I started having cramps. Similar to my period cramps. They’re in my low back, hips and lower abdomen. It’s not sharp but very uncomfortable. It started at work around 415pm and has gotten worse. I had something similar in the first trimester too but this time it’s more painful. Is this just round ligament pain/pain from the uterus expanding?

Answer

Thats not riund ligament pain. Just sounds like growing pains which happen during that time. Ligament pain is mostly when u get up or switch directionsquickly. And its usually around the bottom of your bump

Answer

Yeah I had this around 21 weeks too, it’s growing pains and its definitely uncomfortable but normal, it lasted about a week. if you have any concerns talk to your doctor.

Answer

For me, my round ligament pain is quick, sharp, and painful..some are quicker and less painful.  It doesn't last more than a min or two when they do happen, and then they go away and I am good again.  And they usually only occur if I sneeze and I am not positioned in a good way or move in a way my body dislikes.  It's like a charlie horse, haha, or at least that's what I tell my husband!  Mine started around 8 or 9 weeks, and still happen at least once a day.  But you could be sore just from growing, just dont think it is RLP if it is ongoing.  Could be wrong tho, I am also a FTM.
