20 weeks weird pain

I had (mild last 2 days, stronger today) a pain located to the left, bottom/under my bump (carry high). Feels muscular not sharp. Big movements make it bad e.g. standing up off a sofa, walking fast. Sometimes the pain radiates out to other muscles, always on the surface, not over/in the bump.

Is it just round ligament pain? DH says its the classic spot for a hernia to start! [Shock]

Feeling movement as I type, not there, neither is it where my placenta is.

Ringing mW when daily helpline goes live.

I had something like this would come for a few days weirdly every Sunday for about 3 weeks then stopped told midwife she just said rlp

and it did go 27 weeks now and mine stopped by about 22.

Weird Sunday coincidence!

Rang the MW, who said it sounded muscular!

Thanks! :)

I've been seeing a physio since 12 weeks for hip pain, at around 20 weeks it moved under my bump. She says it's perfectly normal for 20 weeks, I can't remember exactly but it's to do with the growth of the baby at that stage. She predicted that it'd go in a few weeks... I'm now 24 weeks and it's a thing if the past!

I had something like this at about 20 wks (now 24). It started when I was walking to work. Pretty painful actually on one side. Felt muscular. It went away shortly after I got to work and sat down. Then started up again on walk home. God it was painful, like a really bad stitch. Then as long as a lay on the sofa it vanished. It's never come back. My bump has grown a lot in the last 4 wks so I think it was growth pains or something.

Sounds like what I have today! 21 weeks and painful pains under my bump sometimes going down into groin, feels like I pulled a muscle! Seeing MW tomorrow so will ask her, but I think it's just everything growing - bump has had a growth spurt this weekend!

Sounds like one of those things no one warns you about (ligament pain = "mild pain on one side" = veeery vague Mr medical website!). :) Will hold off panic stations for a day or two.

Found a nice warm shower eases it!

Im 19 weeks and have the same thing.
My midwife says its either muscular or just plain stretching !

Mine eases and returns. It was making it uncomfortable to sit on the loo yesterday! Considering other pregnancy symptoms I wasn't impressed lol... But they do say sitting/standing quickly triggers it.
