Round Ligament Pain

Tweet

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I am on my second trimester. Lately, I became so anxious because I experienced a brief,sharp, stabbing pain on my abdomen and groin area. I noticed that I can feel more pain upon walking, stretching and getting up on bed.Based on my observation, the pain can last for a few seconds. I was about to consult my doctor but I came across an article that talks about Round Ligament Pain during pregnancy. As I was reading the article, I realized that what I am going through is common on second trimester and it is a normal pregnancy symptom to expect. There is no need to worry because the pain that we can feel is due to the stretching of round ligaments that supports our uterus. You need to be aware that if the abdominal pain or discomfort worsens and it is paired with severe cramping and bleeding then you need to consult your doctor. I just want to share my experience with pregnant women and soon to be mothers out there. I hope this will help lessen our worries about the pregnancy symptoms that we are going through.
