    shooting pains

    hi all, can anyone tell me what this is, just wondering if I should be worried, i have been getting shooting pains in my lower left side since yesterday, just inside where the hip bone is, they are not in any kind of pattern, just keep happening, sometimes in 30 seconds, sometimes after a couple of minutes, other times after 10-20 mins etc. last night in bed, they would only happen when i curled my legs up, if i kept them straight it was fine. any ideas? mind you it was probably the best nights sleep i've had in a couple of weeks, i am off to my next ob appointment tomorrow so i will mention then anyway, but just wanting to know if i should go earlier.
    TIA for your help

    Klee, I've had something similar, but on the right hand side. Not sure what it is and considering going to the doctors about it. Let me know what your ob says.

    i ended up going to emergency cause it was doing my head in, its ok it was just ligament pain and bubs is going fine. thanks pinklilly, is yours around the hipbone and not in the tummy, could be the round ligaments stretching. look after yourself and if it gets too much go see about it.

    Yep, I had that at 19 weeks...it was a shocker...panadol and heat packs and rest did the trick. Take it easy ladies!
