Stretching pains at 19 weeks

[Dueindecember2016]

Hi everyone.

I'm sure I'm not alone but just wanted to double check. When I turn too quickly from one side to the other when I'm in bed, I get an quick stabbing sharp pain down the bottom right on hand side of my bump.

Anyone else get this?

Thanks :)

I had terrible pains like this around 19 weeks! I was up at the hospital with it and they did a full work up and reassured me it was just stretching pains. Felt like someone dragging a needle over my muscles from the inside. I found rolling with my legs straight made the pains much worse, it actually helped if I rolled keeping my legs bent. A faff as I'd also started sleeping with a pillow between my knees for support so the pillow had to come with! Pains eased off after a week or so and haven't returned (25 weeks)

I get the stretching pains in my lower belly all the time, but I know it's just where she's growing. This pain was like a stitch you get when you've been running. I'll mention is at my scan next week just in case :)

Sounds like the joys of round ligament pain, can be felt on both sides but more common on the right side as your uterus tilts slightly to the right in second trimester.

Slow careful movements in bed/getting in and out and when sitting/standing. Also common for you to get the pains when you sneeze etc, I used to hold my bump before I sneezed if I could.

The magical world of pregnancy.

Thank you

Totally normal - it's the ligaments stretching! Taking magnesium should help - but speak to your midwife first!

I'm 19 weeks and getting exactly this x

I get a small strains when I cough and stand up quickly too

Yep, definitely sounds like round ligament pain - wonderful isn't it I'm 27+2 and have more pressure now, and painful kicks to the ribs (or crotch ) but I remember RLP being particularly sore around 18/19 weeks for a few weeks.

I get this quite often too I'm 20 weeks now I always find its worse when I have a full bladder X
