What does your round ligament pain feel like?

My stomach is freakin killing me lately. I've been laying down for the past 2 hours, then 4 hours before that. My dr said try to stay off your feet. I'm totally not a hypochondriac or anything but I tell the dr everything just in case there is something wrong. I hope this is just regular normal round ligament feeling but I dont even know anymore. I cant describe it anymore. What does yours feel like? Maybe you have better words and descriptions than I do lol!

I got mine about a hands width away from my belly button... one morning it was soo bad I couldn't walk wihtout being hunched over. ... That's the best i can do LOL

Is it constant? Mine lasts for a while and its not like it was in the 1st trimester. That was more stretching and pulling. Now its like aching and kind of cramping.

Re: What does your round ligament pain feel like?

How many weeks are you?

ETA: What I thought was round ligament pain really felt like cramping and pulling pretty down low. Like you can almost feel the stretching (if that makes any sense?)

ETA Again - where are you feeling these pains exactly?

I'm 23 weeks tomorrow, and the feeling is in my lower stomach on my left side more, where the baby is.

ETA: should i not be feeling round ligament pain anymore?

Re: What does your round ligament pain feel like?

Not sure if it's round ligament pains but it could be. Try drinking lots of water. The only thing I've learned being pregnant twice is that our bodies go through so much that most of these aches and pains are normal. If you are concerned then def. talk to your doctor, but I"m sure after a good nights sleep and lots of water you'll be fine tomorrow.

I have had horrible stabbing pains and cramps for the last 7 weeks or so - everyday worse than the next. Everytime I mention it at my doctors appointment she assures me that it's all normal!
