I'm sort of getting used to the general aches and pains of pregnancy. Tonight I experienced something I haven't felt before. The under side of my belly is really tight and hurts when I try to get up or walk. Hurts so bad I needed Hops' help getting to the couch.
Has anyone else had anything like this before?

Nope. Maybe you should call the doctor, never hurts to ask them about it!

I used to get that all the time too. Is that round ligament pain? I don't know but I used to get it all the time.

I think so..? It might be your LO pushing against something. Call your doctor if the pain doesn't go away.

@His Barista: its only when I try to move, not sitting still. Contractions you would feel either way, right?

@mediagirl: maybe it is ligament pain then? I had some where I couldn't stand because it hurt to move.

@mediagirl: could be round ligament pain. If you're worried, it's always ok to call your OB.

@pastemoo: 30 weeks Saturday. I don't want to be that patient!
@His Barista: could be. I have felt that in my side before. Debilitating pain, for sure. I guess this could be the same thing.

So, I told my OB about it and also mentioned some other tightening I was having. He did a cervix check and everything still feels good so, I'm not to worry. He told me if it happens again to drink 3 big glasses of cold water and then see if I get them again. If they happen more than 5 times in one hour, I'm to call immediately. Phew. Feel much better.

@mediagirl: Glad you called! I was always afraid to be *that* patient too, but learned it's better to be safe than sorry!

yes good call in calling! I've been having round ligament pain too, and it's totally different from my first pregnancy (first time it was both side, stabbing pains; this time it's just one side, a twisting pain) so I got all worried but a couple visits to the doc later (and testing for a bladder infection and looking for a kidney stone) we came to the conclusion that it's just ligament pain. My OB recommended a maternity belt... I still hav eto go get one!
