Stretching pains at 26 weeks?

Hi everyone. I'm 26 weeks with my third baby and have been experiencing what I would describe as chronic stretching pains below my (now sizeable!) bump! Two weeks ago I was keeled over in what felt like period pain which lasted a whole weekend. Now it's just a lesser but constant version of this. Is this just likely to be third time around stretching pains?

Hey there, I'm nearly 29 weeks & have experienced this for weeks, i honestly couldn't even turn the other week without feeling like i was being stabbed! This is baby number 4 for me and I've never had it this bad but there is four years since i was last pregnant and had been going to the gym so i think everything is just having to stretch alot more again. Midwife said its round ligament pain and common so not to worry but i feel your pain! Hope it eases soon, mines not as bad (touch wood) at the moment but it was. X
