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>
