i want this baby to come!?

Question

So im 35 weeks now and about 2 1/2 weeks ago i started getting really weird pains. I thought it was from walking around because i was walking quite a bit that weekend but its still going on. I have been to the doctor twice so far and he tells me that it is ligament pains since everything is growing at a rapid rate. I have asked several people but no one ive asked has had this. It happens when i walk, stand, and sometimes when im just sitting. The pain is in my groin area and i think the best way to describe it is it feeling like pinched nerves..it can be pretty painful. When it happens i cant stand up straight or walk..and it happens daily now. I thought maybe because im a petite person. I am 5 foot 1 and weighed 100 lbs before i got pregnant but im not sure if thats the reason. Im not worried since the doctor seemed okay with it but it really is an inconvience and no one can relate! Has anyone had anything like this?

Answer 1

Oh yeah, I got that, mine was called symphisis pubis dysfunction, and it's when the ligaments stretch so far that the pelvic bones separate. It was agony, got worse with each pregnancy. It settled down soon after each birth but while I had it I was very uncomfortable. Sleep with a pillow between your legs, it can relieve the pain a little. You can also buy a pelvic that supports your pelvis and holds it all together, they are usually available at chemists.

I totally sympathise.

Hey dear! What your experiencing sounds like Round Ligament Pain, it's totally normal so relax! Just make sure your doctor is aware of it!

What is round ligament pain?
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 am 5 foot 7 and had this through the first half of my pregnancy. Went to the hospital because one night I couldn't move for half an hour- I couldn't get out of the fetal position. I was told to take a warm bath and take Tylenol.

Answer 4

Hello, I am also 35 weeks and I am also experiencing the same kind of pain. It is normal and part of the road of pregnancy. Hold on, we are nearly there. Good luck!!!
