Can anyone tell me their experiences with round ligament pain? I've been experiencing this constant, achy discomfort/pain (pulling/stretching.. like the early stages of a cramp, kind of) that stretches across the entire lower side of my bump. It started last night, was not as noticeable this morning, but has picked up again all afternoon. The intensity of the ache ranges from just uncomfortable (as if the weight of the belly is just causing discomfort) to strong enough that I need to close my eyes and breath through it. Moving from a sitting to standing position is difficult, and after I empty my bladder I can't even sit up straight. Oh, and the pain is running down my legs as well.
I thought maybe it was Braxton Hicks, but what I'm experiencing doesn't seem to match what I've heard BH feels like. Could this be round ligament pain?
I'm not doubled over or anything, so I don't think it's necessary to phone my doctor.. but I'm also starting to worry as it's been going on a few hours that this has been happening.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
