Stitch on right hand side

Am 32 weeks (feels like the longest pg in history!) and this morning have a stitch like pain on lower right of bump. Taking my breath away!

Had routine bp and urine check at docs yesterday and all fine, so not worried about UTI.

Think it might be a bit worse when walking... Just round ligament pain?

I had a stitch like pain and it was my (tilted) pelvis pressing on a nerve. Osteopath sorted it out. It was agony.

I get this too. Mainly on the right side and usually when I'm late for work and walking fast (most days!)

It feels like a stitch you get when you run after eating far too much. I'm puting it down to round ligament pain too.

I get stitches all the time - currently 32+5 - I find I can generally walk it off. I think it's just, basically, a stitch!

Yes, was a stitch and gone now. Still have heartburn, swollen ankles, bad back and general exhaustion though - ho hum!

Hi there, apparantly due to the direction the uterus normally moves naturally it pulls more on the right side of the round ligamnet which is why the pain is more often there.
I am now 34 weeks and tend to get it if the little wriggler is going through a growth spurt coupled with me doing a fair amount of walking. Passes though..
