I am having very painful, what I think is, rlp mostly on the left. I had it in my first pregnancy but only when I sneezed and not for long. I am waking up at night in excrutiating pain which can last for a couple of minutes. I am pretty sure it is nothing sinister and is just rlp. Has anyone else had it worse in subsequent pregnancies and found it very very painful? I am 32 weeks and had it for about 6 weeks but getting worse as in lasting for longer and more intense.

Hi I am the same, this is my 7th pregnancy ( 4th baby fingers crossed) I only had it with my last daughter from around 30 weeks but this time its been going on from 15 weeks. I mentioned it to doctor and midwife and both said normal rlp. I have been told swimming can help so I might try that once weather warms up. you can buy tummy slings, never tried them but may do soon
