    Im getting this too because my bubs is sitting really low (gotta love no tummy muscles left lol)

    its normally a nerve bubs is sitting on or kicking or stretching pain.

    if it does worry you though make sure you ask about it at your next app or even ring the hospital to see what they say.

    Just back from docs. He thinks it is a strain or stretch. He said the uterus pulls and stretches all sorts at this stage. He checked my urine for an infection of which there was none and felt my tummy. He was very pleased with the height of my fundus (I aim to please!!) I had checked my ultrasound notes and my placenta is not on the side of my pain but posterior so I discussed this with him and he said not to worry about the placenta with this. He was checking for appendicitis and found nothing to worry him (I cannot believe that me the worrywart had not even thought of appendicitis!! LOL!!! I am getting slack!!) So all in all I have been given a clean bill of health.

    Thanks for your help girls!

    I had terrible pain exactly like you are describing. My OB said it was ligaments stretching. I'm just accepting that it is part of the normal fun that is pregnancy.

    I found a wheat bag would help with the pain when it was very strong.
