Round Ligament Pain

Can anyone tell me what this feels like? This is my second pregnancy and my twins are due at the end of September. My abdomen area is kind of achy, but I don't think it's contractions. My legs are also very tired. I never had any of these symptoms with my first.

PS I have also developed restless leg syndrome at night. If anyone cares to comment on that too, I would appreciate it.

 

My round ligament pain went from the top of my hip and then radiated down the side of my abdomen. Sometimes it hurt to get up from the couch to quick or if I turned to quick to pick something up or grab something. I had RLP all the time...there was so much stretching going on.

I too has RLS with both of my pregnancies. It was horrible and I really had a hard time sleeping at night. But it did go away after the birth.

 

ugg.. round ligaments pains can be achy.. but also can be very sharp and painful. I get them sometimes and its like that I need to scream but it hurts to bad to so nothing comes out. other times its a dull ache that just won't go away.. I rub them now and then and that seems to ease the pain.. also heat helps..

RLS.. have this with every single one of my pregnancies.. eat a banana right before you go to bed.. it will help you sooooo much. antihistamines (sudafed, and even otc sleeping meds) can add to this sensation so avoid them as much as possible.

 

I only had the round ligament pain 2 times during my pregnancy and it was seriously painful. It was a really sharp pain on my right side that ran down my leg and to my back. It stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away. It went away after about a minute. It really scared me. But apparently the doctor said he thinks that is round ligament pain.
I never had RLS

 

My RLP caused me to think I had an ectopic pregnancy before I knew I was having twins. It was very uncomfortable!

As for RLS - take benadryl at night to help you sleep (totally safe!) and drink a small bottle of Gatorade (G2 if you can find them - they have less sugar). You might find some relief from that

 

I think I am having some ligament pain right now too. Whenever I cough I get a pain and it is really, really sharp.

I hope you are able to get some relief!
