Pain - round ligament?

Does round ligament pain feel like period pain? I'm 15+5 today.

The pain/aches I'm having right now closely feel like period pain.

I'm getting really paranoid with this pregnancy. Never had this many issues.

I can't help you as such as i've not had much pain at all (which is worrying me) i'm 15+5 also today.

But the pain i did have was like a stitch, few dull ache pains but nothing like period pain. Then again i'm not experiencing much at all.

The pain I feel because of ligaments stretching is on both sides of my belly( sometimes just one side) and feels like literally there is something stretching too much, but it goes away if I find another position that help my muscles relax.
For me it doesn’t feel like period pain, it’s different.

There is some info on the nhs website about this too.

I get bad round ligament pain, for me it’s extremely sharp, very painful cramping that only lasts maybe 30 seconds at a time. Usually comes on when I stand up from sitting for a while. It really flipping hurts, it’s across the lower part of my stomach..

Round ligament pain can feel a lot like period pain, I get it often. I seem to get it more on one side, and with my son ended up in a hospital bed being given codeine as it was so bad it made me worry that something was wrong but got completely checked over and baby was fine even though I was in pain 🙄 now with this pregnancy I've learnt it's just everything stretching out. Always have a word with your midwife if your worried and never worry about contacting your EPU if your really worried
