Persistent ligament pain?

It's been keeping me up at night - I can't seem to get comfortable, even propped up on pillows on the couch. I'm hoping to make it to the physio on Friday, but wondered if anyone else has had this? It's getting annoying... I actually need help out of bed sometimes because I can't roll over by myself :wall:

The other thing is, if it's not ligament pain (and it feels like it), what is it? It's a sharp, muscular pain, as if it's being pulled by something* and if I'm not lying down, it generally subsides after 5 minutes or so.

*quite possibly this enormous belly

yes! i had excruciating pain just like what youve explained. midwife gave me tubi-grip which is like a big piece of elastic you wear around the middle to support the weight. it helped a LOT although was uncomfortable and hot... then i saw physio who recomended hydrotherapy exercise class at the hospital and gave me a different kind of support belt which i wear sometimes, i never went to the hydrotherapy class....

it got better by itself and im not in agony anymore! i think my body just had to adjust and get stronger to support the weight. i feel for you i really do, cos it really got me down as i felt like a cripple! i had to slow down a LOT, and if i do too much physically i know about it!

i hope it gets better for you also! i thought it would only get worse with the growing belly but there is hope :-)

Yep i was the same with my first pregnancy, and i was really big so i think the weight made it worse. It got so bad i couldnt sit or turn over at night etc. Defiantly see the physio..and yes defiantly the belly belts to help support

Thanks for the replies - hopefully the physio can help! I guess I'm feeling my age(!) since I'm generally fitter and healthier - and lighter - than I was with both other pregnancies. Less than 10 weeks to go... phew!
