Pulling Sensation around Uterus Area

[divatoot]

Hello all!
This is my very first pregnancy so I actually have no idea what to expect, what is normal, and what I need to be alarmed about.

I am currently 17 weeks and 4 days. I have been noticing the past probably 2 weeks that I have some pulling type pains around my uterus area....almost as though my lower muscles are sore.

I am wondering if this is the round ligament pain I have heard about it, or if it could be something that I need to have my OB check out.

Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated and welcomed

Sounds like normal stretching pains to me. Could be round ligament but that's normally a sharp sudden pulling pain. Happens to me if I get up too quickly or sneeze or cough etc.

Thanks Miss Cellany!
I didn't think it was something to worry about, but wanted to double check with other expectants or mothers just to make sure

It sounds like round ligament pain to me too. Lots of people say how it is sharp and fast pain, but I also get it as stretching/burning for large parts of the day when I'm going through a growth spurt. I called my Dr in my first pregnancy after hours of pain and they said it was round ligament pain due to its location.

This pregnancy, I try to drink a bottle of water, rest, and wait and see if it passes in half a day. So far, it always has.

Good luck and never feel bad calling your Dr if your gut tells you something feels off

It sounds like normal pains of everything stretching and making room but if ou are concerned it cant hurt to mention it to the doctor
