How to tell the difference between baby kicks and round ligament pain??

Question

This is my first pregnancy and I'm 2 hrs away from being 19+3 and I can't distinguish baby kicks between round ligament pain/dull cramps. I'm not sure what I'm feeling!! Any help?

Answer

To me, round ligament pain feels like a Charlie horse in the side of my belly and happens when I move suddenly or twist weirdly. Baby kicks feel like a fish wiggling inside, kind of.

Answer

From my experience, Ligament pain usually hurts while baby kicks are kinda subtle yet obvious and not painful at all, at least not yet and I'm 20weeks.

Answer

Kicks are a thud type feeling

Answer

Round ligament pain hurts, usually when you move too quickly too. The baby kicks don't hurt (at least not this early) and you will know when you feel them, it feels like a little kick! :)
