Round ligament pain

[periwinkle25]

Hi

Just wondering if someone who has experienced round ligament pain could tell me exactly what it's like? X

Really sharp on one side of tummy when I moved. Sort of belly button across to hip area.

if you are worried, please ring the number in your notes

Like a stitch pain? I've rung them they just confused me even more

Mine have happened just on the inside of my hip bone (described to me as where a high cut swimming costume would sit). They've always felt like sharp snaps that hurt like hell for a second and then pass. Usually if I move suddenly or sneeze

Mine are always like a sharp stab on the side, kind of over by my hipbone down to pubic bone, sometimes like a mix of a cramp and the delightful stabby. Mine tend to linger and burn for a few minutes after the initial sharp stab.

Thankyou for the replies

Mine are the same but when I spoke with the midwife she didn't mention ligament pain or say anything when I did, just told me to lay down and rest and call back if any worse! I've worked myself up into a right state thinking it's something major wrong, but going by what's been said here sounds like round ligament pain x

It felt like a stitch x 100, really painful. I had it on one side one day then the other the next, for about half an hour each time - turned out to be the baby getting into a nice head down position so hopefully it's a good thing for you

Nothing really helped except lying in a foetal position and complaining...

Yes curling up helps take the pressure off. I now automatically curl up if I sneeze, just in case!
