Ladies in the upper 20s (weeks) lol
For the past couple of days I have been feeling a little sore on my right side (thats where the baby moves the most). The feeling is as if I'm having ovulation pains/cramps and they tend to radiate to my back...its not constant but I've been feeling them more often every day...should I be concerned and maybe call the doctor? I'm going for my monthly check-up next Friday...thanks!

Of course ask the dr when you go but I have simular pains and its just the uterus growing...last week it was the round ligaments stretching to support the uterus..this week its the upper right side b/c someone has chosen to keep his tushy there and butt bump my rib cage...Im 28+ weeks.

Maybe it is my ligaments stretching...it definitely feels like muscle pains...I think he is beating me up inside...he is so active...all the time...he only sleeps when I sleep...I guess its a good pattern thus far

Re: Ladies in the upper 20s (weeks) lol
i am just about 20 weeks and had the same thing - my dr told me that it was round ligament pain and that it was totally normal.. i t did get worse before it got better though - and i was told to eliminate caffeine from my diet entirely and had to drastically up my liquid intake... he recommended a gallon (oh boy) a day --- which i havnt been able to do -- so that you are urinating about every 40/45 minutes....
good luck
cause it hurts!

i'm only 23 weeks, but every time i have a growth spurt (3 so far) i get the worst round ligament pains - that's what it sounds like you're having too. i also get them worse when i don't drink enough. i would definitely bring it up with your doc, but in the meanwhile, drink up!

The round ligaments are the ligaments that support the uterus. As your uterus grows these ligaments stretch. The stretching can feel like mild cramping, an occasional muscle spasm, or a sharpish pain when you move a certain way etc....
Why do I know all this????? I'd like to tell you that Im well read and try to keep myself super informed BUT that is not the case...I am simply really paranoid and this is the first pregnancy where I havent called the doctor for every little thing!
