yep, round ligament pain starts early in pgcy and continues untill very late. It's a reminder to take things a bit slower and it's just the ligaments that hold the uterus in place stretching. The pain often runs down into the groin area and if you stop moving for a few seconds, it goes away.......Just stop what you are doing when you get the pain, count to five and SLOWLY stretch back up again. It should have eased up. It is completely normal. Just think, your uterus is growing from the size of a small lemon to the size of a watermelon (or bigger!). The ligaments stopiing it from collapsing down towards your bowels have to stretch, the ones stopping it bouncing upwards have to stretch, the actual muscles of the uterus have to stretch....there is an awful lot of stretching and growing going on and it's not always comfortable. Try to take it easy, listen to your body and rest/stop when it tells you to! Your body is designed to do this and it knows what it can and can't handle. It uses these little pains etc to speak to you. When you stand up quickly, it hurts because it's telling you to take it a little slower. I'm not trying to sound grumpy so sorry if I come across that way....just advising you to listen to it and slow down when it tells you to. I hope the rest of ur pgcy is marvellous and trouble free honey!
