Round ligament pain

6 replies

Morning, I'm 16+5 and suffering from what I think is round ligament pain.. sharp sporadic pains in my lower left abdomen. Sometimes this can happen if I'm just sitting still. Or like this morning, in bed laying still. Does this sound right?
Also this is Day 3 of this for me. How long is this meant to go on? Any help/words would be greatly appreciated! X

Funny you mention this, I’m 16+6 and since yesterday I’ve been having pain in my stomach. So I’ve come on here! I put it down to ligament pain so I think it’s normal? If it’s still there in a few more days I’ll check in with the midwife I think. Hope it gets better. Have you felt any flutters yet?

I have been looking online (despite my oh asking me not to Blush) and the signs point to ligament pain so I do think that's what it is. I think I'll see how I am in a day or so and will call the midwife just to be sure.
I think I felt something yesterday but can't be sure! How about you?

Not felt anything yet - desperately waiting for it! X

I know what you mean! I've been the same! A friend of mine told me to drink a really cold drink and that should help get a bit of movement! Hope you're feeling lots of flutters soon!! X

Hey, I felt some pains for some days when I was around 15+4 to 16wks. They were sharp and a bit stinging, unpleasant to point of me wincing a bit, and kind of everywhere around my stomach (although mostly lower left). No bleeding or anything else.
Told midwife at 16wk check-in and she put it off as ligament pain - I was worried it was the baby's movements (haven't felt any so far) because it was decidedly uncomfortable! I'm 16+5 today, first baby, and haven't felt any movements so far!

I had this between 4 - 6 weeks and it turned out to be a water infection. Then pains returned from about 9 weeks and I assumed ligament pain. I'm 12 weeks now and still having them. Scan tomorrow so we'll see what happens.
