When does round ligament pain start and what does it feel like?

Question

I’m 13 weeks today, last night when I bent down my stomach hurt really bad for a second. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night a couple of times with a sharp sort of stomach pain. Didn’t last long, almost felt like I was punched in the stomach. Is this round ligament pain? Is 13 weeks too early? The pain is kind of scaring me so hoping it’s normal.

Answer

Not too early at all. It's all to do with a hormone called relaxin that gets released around this time in your pregnancy that causes all the problems! Unfortunately it doesn't really go away. You just need to learn to adapt to it. I started getting it at 14wks. Currently 27wks and have good and bad days depending on what activity I do.

Answer

Oh my god. This pain was/is horrible. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t pee. If I laid still for too long it hurt. And all we pregnant ladies can take is Tylenol. It felt like period cramps combined with a stabbing pain

Answer

Aounds like round ligament pain. It can start as soon as your uterus starts expanding.
