Is this ligament pain?

hi Ladies, i am 17 weeks now and for the past few days i am having really uncomfortable pain, mostly at the sides. Its quite painful! Is this ligament pain do you think? I had my 16 week scan last week and all was perfect, so i dont think its anything else. just wondering if anyone else has had this pain.

If this is your first, you will experience all sorts of aches and pains. Your description does fit with ligament pain. And the timing is about right too. Your body is really starting to fill out and carrying increasing weight just at the front.

I found with my 1st pregnancy to ease all my aches and pains was to keep up daily light exercises and took up Yoga and Pilates classes for pregnancy. It really helped! I got a Pilates ball and always used it to sit down instead of a chair. Take it easy and avoid any sudden movements.

Perhaps check with you GP just to make sure all is well.

That sounds like ligament pain to me. I started doing yoga and lots of other little light stretches throughout the day. It helped! And I picked up a new 'hobby' in the process. It gives me a little something extra to be excited about.
