Hi there. So I have just got back from triage. I was uncomfortable on my left side last night and this afternoon it ramped up something crazy. It’s a pain that’s going from my left side (front and back) down to my lower back and at the front down to my groin. When I got to the hospital they checked baby, me, urines etc and all is normal and the pain eased significantly when I was in the hospital but a few hours after I’ve been home it’s ramped up again. Anyone experience something similar ? At the hospital they said it was probably stretching etc.

Hey, 27 weeks and have been experiencing this also but only during the night, painful enough to wake me up / keep me up. I thinks it’s round ligament pain (for me) I’m not seeing midwife until Friday so was going to ask her for some advice ? Not something I experienced in my last 2 pregnancies but this baby is a lot bigger so wondered if that had something to do with it. He is very active so I wasn’t really very worried yet.

did the hospital offer you any advice? Hope it eases for you soon .

Aw I’m sorry to hear this. It’s annoying isn’t it. I also don’t recall this with my first.

so hospital hooked me up to the monitor and that was fine. They wondered if it was a UTI as it hurts sometimes when I wee. But that was normal. They did a speculum and again normal, I have some discharge but I have done throughout and already had some swabs but they did some more.

he was quite unsure - which I suppose is fair enough - he was wondering if its gallstones but from my google that pain would be right side usually. So I’m not sure. Last night was painful and predominantly a pain right between my hips and ribs front and back. Also have my routine midwife appointment today so going to ask again.

im also leaning towards babies position and stretching etc. im just being a grumpy sod j think because ive been really active and unaffected to date and the last couple days ive felt very limited but i know im lucky.
