I'm 18 weeks preg (first baby) and I've been having round ligament pain since 16 weeks on my right side - pretty severe... just wondering if anyone knew of anything that gave some relief to the pain? (ie - hot showers, laying on left side, massaging it - I have no idea) :) If there's anything out there or anyone knows anything, that would be helpful - thanks! :)

I was told I had round ligament pain on my right side and it turned out at 6 months that I had a blocked kidney and ended up having surgery while pregnant. If the pain is bad and persistent, get another opinion. I just had a urine test which showed blood which wasn't visible to the naked eye.

You can lie down on your left side and put warm compresses or a heating pad on the area that's hurting you.
Also soaking in a warm bath with oils to relax you (chamomile, lavendar, etc) will help tremendously.
