Question for any of you ladies who have dealt with this before. I'm currently 15 weeks with my second son, and I never dealt with this with my first.

I am having severe sharp pains in my abdomen which my doctor confirmed were my ligaments stretching (he described exactly where/what I was feeling and no bleeding or cramping so I trust his judgement) and I am in SO MUCH PAIN that I was crying this morning. I have a very high pain tolerance, and nothing in my first pregnancy ever got me to that level. I can barely get intimate with my boyfriend, let alone move without it hurting terribly.

My questions to you all are:

How long did this pain last for you? Just second trimester, or did you end up having it up until 3rd trimester?

Did you find any safe ways of relieving the pain? I really don't take medications if I don't have to, let alone while pregnant, so natural and safe remedies are highly appreciated.
