Hello,

I have started feeling what I can beat describe as period cramps along my lower belly. They will be constant (not able to really time them), and don't go away when I change position or lay down. There is also no bleeding. Baby boy still moves around, but he moves a lot less when the cramping is worst.

First I thought it must be BH (I never had them with baby 1). But when I told my doctor they said that it doesn't sound like BH and sent me to Labor and Delivery.

At L&D they checked me and said my cervix was closed and it wasn't registering as contractions.they deduced that it must be atypical round ligament pains or maybe pain from a lingering yeast/bacterial infection.

I haven't had pain with this infection before, and the round ligament pain I had in the past would be sharp, end quick and could be relieved with changing position.

Now I'm on day two of basically having these pains all day. I used a belly support band today with no relief.

All I want to know is if this IS just round ligament pain or if there might be something (even un-baby related) going on.

Has anyone else had something similar happen? What were the results?

The cramps aren't severe enough to stop me from working or anything, though I'd rather be resting. It also restricts what I can do (no bending or lifting etc)

Thank you!!!
