Round Ligament Pain (??) 28 weeks

Question

Holy Batman! I've been having really bad round ligament pain or what I think is RLP. It runs in my lower abdomen above my pubic line and on the sides of my belly like a stitch from running too hard. Any opinions if this is RLP? Does it get better in the coming weeks??

Answer

If you massage in circular motions on each side it can help relieve the tightness. This is my third pregnancy and my other two I did that almost daily once in my second trimester.

Answer

#5 and finally have gone to a manual physical therapist for any and all muscle types of pain. Why didn't I seek help several children ago?

Answer

I get the same pains. You described it perfectly. I thought it was round ligament pain, but now I think it's my baby girl on my nerves. I really don't know which, but it sucks. When I get them they last anywhere from a few minutes to about an hour. Never know which side it'll be, and sometimes walking, massaging, or stretching will help, but sometimes nothing helps. It's like having a Charlie horse in my abdomin. 😔
Mine started around week 26 and seem to be getting more intense and frequent as I progress. I'm 30+4 now. The worst is when I have the pain, have to pee, and a Braxton contraction all hit at once. 😳

Answer

Is that what's it called? I got a very similar pain on the right side after yoga. I thought I just pulled a muscle. Was tough to walk when it kicked it. But It went away after a few days.

Answer

Glad I saw this because I just got sharp pains and thought it was RLP but wasn't sure

Answer

I had the same thing a few days ago, it lasted for about 3 days especially while changing positions during the middle of the night or bending down then back up.  I'm chalking it up to a growth spurt!
