Round ligament pain generally refers to a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting dull ache that pregnant women commonly feel in the lower abdomen or groin, starting in the second trimester.
You may feel round ligament pain as a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting out of bed or out of a chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. You may feel it as a dull ache after a particularly active day — when you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity.
The round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes can occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen.
You may feel the pain starting from deep inside your groin, moving upward and outward on either side to the top of your hips. The pain is internal, but if you were to trace it on your skin, it would follow the bikini line on a very high-cut bathing suit.

I undergo in suggestions the perimeters of my tummy hurting/aching approximately that factor. It replaced into from the stretching of the uterus because it grows. i think of all of us describes it in yet differently. you're able to desire to start feeling the infant flow in some weeks. i think everywhere from sixteen-25 weeks is commonly used, reckoning on what number babies you have already had. First pregnancies frequently take slightly longer to sense the infant flow than next ones because of fact the uterus is already stretched out slightly. sturdy success!

I would call the doctor to make sure it is not preterm labor. If it is they need to take care of this asap. Trying lying on your side and if it goes away then just make sure you relax and take it easy. Don't over work yourself. Good Luck.
