It gives me hope, though. I was wondering how I'll ever handle labor if I can't handle this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awful-round-ligament-pain#post-2133009 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:08:35 +0000 Corduroy 2133009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pain might not last the rest of your pregnancy. I had about 24 hours of crazy hip pain last pregnancy. I felt like I was being ripped apart. It turned out that LO was turning from one side to the other. I went on to have a relatively comfortable last few weeks. I hope it's temporary for you too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awful-round-ligament-pain#post-2132992 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 19:30:44 +0000 macintosh 2132992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'll give heat a try - I have a rice sack thing I can stick in the microwave. It most definitely is the pressure from his ginormous head, lol! I feel better standing up and cooking dinner than lying or sitting down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awful-round-ligament-pain#post-2132970 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:49:51 +0000 blackbird 2132970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: hmmm I wonder if the pressure of the baby just triggers that muscle. I use heat but I know some people aren't ok with it. I just don't get so hot I start sweating or anything. But it's a ligament and if it's tight or sore, I treat it like any other sore muscle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awful-round-ligament-pain#post-2132969 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:46:47 +0000 macintosh 2132969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: What really confuses me is I only have the pain when lying down. Of course now he's lower so that might change. I have an elastic belt, but I got it months ago and it barely fits now. Do you think it's ok to do heat on my actual pelvis? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awful-round-ligament-pain#post-2132961 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:33:16 +0000 blackbird 2132961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a support band some days. I aggravated it bad a month ago and it took days to heal. I've had a lot more sharp pains lately. I try to move slow and heat feels good, too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/awful-round-ligament-pain#post-2132938 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 17:44:50 +0000 macintosh 2132938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a while I've had some pretty intense round ligament pains when I'm lying down to sleep on my side. I've been using a wedge pillow under my bump and usually I can get it to calm done by turning from one side to the other.</p> <p>Last night, I had very intense, sharp RLPs all night long. I barely slept and just could not get comfortable. </p> <p>This morning I realized baby had dropped! No wonder there is more pressure down there. Unfortunately, I tried to take a nap and the RLPs are killing me! I don't know how I'm going to sleep if it's like this for the next 4 weeks,</p> <p>Has anyone had this? Did anything help? I've tried propping so many pillows under my bump but it's just not helping. I'm thinking maybe an ultra strength support band, but I don't think you're supposed to wear those lying down. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-226665 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:34:01 +0000 kml636 226665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's probably what it was. Mine was sometimes shooting, sometimes throbbing. Always disconcerning, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-225916 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:51:16 +0000 petuniasandpearls 225916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup---I have this too. It didn't start until about 19.5 weeks for me and it is much more intense now at 21.5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-225913 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:49:51 +0000 ladyfingers 225913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been having it constantly the past few days. I thought I had a bladder infection or something but went to the OB this morning and they said nope -- just debilitating growing pains :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224802 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:28:31 +0000 mrsjyw 224802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like mine! I had it on the left side last week, then nothing the past few days, then yesterday morning, it kicked in the right side. As I was trying to cross my legs at work~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224616 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 23:38:26 +0000 WALLAROO 224616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if this is RLP but starting today I've short sharp stabbing like pain in my lower abdomen on the right side. I'm about 10 weeks. Has anyone experienced this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224606 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 23:21:21 +0000 Arden 224606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've totally been having this, but i'm only 5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224586 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:43:10 +0000 lemondrop 224586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine hit around 20 weeks, and was pretty much how you described. Like a side stitch after running too much, and getting up from the bed was torture. A body pillow helped so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224579 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:31:28 +0000 Minnie_Girl 224579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't felt any RLP until the last two days (just hit 20w). The feeling is a mild achiness that hangs around for a while after sitting still/sleeping. Easy enough to deal with, like stretching a tight muscle (which makes sense)...but I'm not a fan of stretching, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224571 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:16:03 +0000 CarrieLouWho 224571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine feels the same way! Mine is always worse after sitting or standing for a while or at night when I roll over. My doc has told me take 2 extra strength tylenol if it gets bad, but I've avoided taking anything unless it's unbearable. You should call your doc to see what they would recommend for pain relief, in case it gets bad!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224330 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 19:19:26 +0000 Beyond2 224330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's exactly what mine feels like. Sometimes is is low on my sides and other times it almost feels like it is in my vagina. It sucks but there isn't much we can do for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224327 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 19:14:59 +0000 MamaMoose 224327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup... Sounds like RLP to me! Sometimes I get it all day long and then other times I'll go a full day without feeling it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-diddoes-your-round-ligament-pain-feel-like#post-224284 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 18:19:32 +0000 littlebug 224284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All day, I have had this constant pain in the lower right side of my abdomen. When I move or cough, it feels like I'm being stabbed. It feels pretty much like a pulled muscle. I just had an ultrasound today, so I know the baby is ok and in the right place. I'm pretty sure it's RLP. What did/does yours feel like? Did you ever have a day where it was a constant thing? </p>
