Round ligament pain?

[Duckling89]

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and have a really bad cough/cold, since this started Saturday I’ve noticed I’m sore around the sides of my bump and groin, sometimes this is a sharp pain literally when I cough but also feels a bit like a pulled muscle at other times. Could this be round ligament pain? Before I’ve only really felt it as a twinge when I’ve done something like getting out of a chair.

I’ve also noticed I’m starting to leak a little bit from my bladder when I sneeze even though this is my first DC! Maybe a sign everything is not normal down there?!

Yep, sounds exactly like round ligament pain. Totally normal for it to spike when coughing or sneezing, as the muscles tense when you do this.

Also, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but weeing a little when you sneeze/cough at this stage...also totally normal. Happened to me from about 14 weeks and I was mortified to find out it was normal for it to happen that early. Also first dc for me.

Doesn't happen super frequently though at least.

If you're worried you can talk to your midwife about it.

All sounds normal to me! Previous poster said it all really.
