Not sure whether to ring MAU over pain

Im 33 weeks with #3 and for the last week I’ve had pains I’ve put down to wind. The pains are on the left side of my bump and at their worst run from my ribs down to my groin. It feels like a constant stitch or similar to round ligament pain but rather than it lasting a few seconds it’s been pretty much constant for about 5 days now. It’s made walking extremely painful, I struggle to get up the satisfied or bend etc. It’s extremely tender to press on. When lying in bed it’s near enough impossible to roll from one side to another.

I had a midwife appointment when it started and because I assumed it was wind I didn’t mention anything and all her checks on me and baby were fine. Since then I’ve passed wind and had no relief from the pain which has led me to question what the hell the pain is! I know baby favours the side the pain is on so I’m not sure if she’s on a nerve although it doesn’t quite feel like nerve pain to me, but I wouldn’t rule it out.

I can’t get through to my midwife at all, so I was thinking of ringing MAU but I hate the idea of bothering them if it’s nothing or does just turn out to be wind.

Just to add I have taken paracetamol which hasn’t made a difference. Unsure if there’s anything stronger I can take. I’ve tried ringing gp but had no luck.

Has anyone experienced similar ?

No experience of this no, but if you're worried, call the MAU. My experience is that they're always happy to take a phone call.

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 it's just the baby in an awkward spot

I'd call them for a chat anyway as it shouldn't be tender to press on if it was trapped wind.

Ring MAU. They will always prefer to see someone and everything be okay than not see you and then you go in when it's too late. You won't be bothering them. Hope everything is alright and baby has just found a comfy spot but not so comfy for you.
