is anyone around 20 weeks preg. and have pubic pain or pain in abdomen maybe it's gas?

Question

my doc. says the baby weighs 1 lb. know and when it balls up it hurts am i just a wuss or is this happening to anyone else

i've read that it might be ligaments stretching

Answer 1

Yes, I experience ligament pains, especially when I stand up, cough, or sneeze. I did the same with my last pregnancy. Its just your body stretching out for that baby!

Answer 2

I am 18wks pregnant and sometimes experience these pains. If you would describe it a sharp pain or pulling in your lower abdomen, its probably round ligament pain. In other words, its most likely your uterus stretching. There is nothing to worry about unless they become severe. Its just a discomfort of pregnancy. Standing up quickly, coughing, and sneezing can cause it. I tend to get them from turning my upper body too quickly. Hope you find this information helpful! Good luck with your pregnancy!

Answer 3

I know how you feel. I am 16 weeks and I pulled a round ligament the other day. Out of my own stupidity. Whew it hurt! It is probably that if it is like a sharp pain. Good luck.

Answer 4

I am 21 weeks pregnant, and I understand what you are going through. It is your round ligaments stretching out. I know that it is uncomfortable, but it is ok. If you are unsure or scared, you can always call your OBGYN. Office hours, they will have you come in or after hours, you will be directed to the L&D department of your local hospital for monitoring. But it is normal. :)

Answer 5

Yes, I had really bad pubic pain. It helped a whole lot when my husband pushed in on my hips, it created counterpressure.

Edited after you added your details...that is called round ligament pain. Yeah, it hurts TERRIBLY! I saw a chiropractor throughout my first pregnancy and it helped with all those pains.

Answer 6

The only pain I remember having during preg. was when the pubic bones started to seperate to prepare for the birth, I don't know the time frame for it, but I remember it felt different down there before the birth how much before I can't remember.

Answer 7

You are 5 months pregnant and yes you are feeling the baby but mostly your body is preparing for birth. It just don't happen when you go in labor. The pelvic pain is your pelvis spreading. that will happen more the later in pregancy you get.

Answer 8

I read someowhere that it could be your uterus growing? not sure how true it is, but it could be. I was actually going to ask this same question at my next dr apt wednesday. I am 23 weeks pregnant and have been experencing the same thing.
