My girlfriend had the same thing around that time frame, it was sharp pain in the mid lower abdominal area. They said it's round ligament pain but it'd be a good idea to get checked so they can rule out it being appendicitis.
Round ligament pain or gas. I actually had them check for appendicitis for me in my first pregnancy as well because it hurt but as long as they say baby is looking healthy, it sounds pretty normal!
Are you sure it's not round ligament pain? It can be pretty intense and painful, but usually only lasts for a few minutes. I'm surprised you hadn't experienced round ligament pain with your first two!
It was very risky being 26 weeks along so I would not take pain in that area lightly. They tried to tell me it was round ligament pain at first. Fortunately I have a wonderful ob who could tell something was very wrong. He had a surgeon and a whole team on standby for me. Baby and I are doing great now but if I had waited any longer I risked losing the baby and/or myself. If it gets worse go to the er!
Round ligament pain is a sharp pain or jabbing feeling often felt in the lower belly or groin area on one or both sides. Several thick ligaments surround and support your womb (uterus) as it grows during pregnancy. One of them is called the round ligament.The round ligament connects the front part of the womb to your groin, the area where your legs attach to your pelvis. The round ligament normally tightens and relaxes slowly.
As your baby and womb grow, the round ligament stretches.
has anyone else had round ligament pain in their third trimester?
It caused her extreme pain around 4 in the morning a few times (hence the trips to the ER) b/c she sleeps in a fetal position - causing the ligament to be stretched in the same position with no relief for 5 or 6 hrs. Ouch. She started phys therapy - the pain is lessening as she is doing exercises between sessions to get the hips aligned again. This sort of thing is caused by stress. No one in the medical field even thought of this....ligaments don't show up on their tests.....
If this has been going on for 5 days straight again, please contact your Dr. again. I know they haven't found anything in previous bouts, but I would still give him/her a call again.
It does sound like you may have a problem with a nerve there. We get so many aches, pains, pulls and tugs during pregnancy, but rarely are they bad enough to keep you bedridden. Chances are it's nothing to harm you or the baby, and just very unpleasant, but I would still keep telling them.
Today I keep getting an stretching sort of twingy pulling pain on my right side in my pelvic area I'm pretty sure it's round ligament pain I've never actually had it before with my others but as this is my 3rd and second in a very short space of time I think it could be what it is lol any of you ladies experience this ???
It sounds like round ligament pains because contractions are going to come wether you are moving or not.
I have them alot even more when I've been on my feet. And if I roll over in bed or get up too quick or sneeze or cough its a quick intense sharp pain.
Omg I hate when I get these I feel like my muscles are being ripped apart
