Im 18 weeks and getting this sharp pulling pain on the sides of my pet when i move suddenly. Doc said its round ligament thing but didnt tell me how to ease it. Kya karu to feel better, any tips?
You don't need to buy expensive maternity belts or therapies for this. Just use a regular pillow under your belly for support when sleeping, and change your sitting positions very slowly. Save that money for your upcoming delivery expenses and baby shopping instead!
My mother told me to apply a little warm sesame oil on my lower back and rest, which helped calm the muscles. But I also checked with my doctor first to make sure it was just normal round ligament pain. Avoid making any sudden movements or lifting heavy items, and let your body rest.
This is just your body beautifully preparing and stretching for delivery! I had it too, and doing some light, safe pelvic stretches really helped relieve the pull. Just move slow, don't rush when getting up from the bed, and stay positive.
Oh sweetie, I totally understand how painful and uncomfortable those sudden sharp stretches can feel. When you get that round ligament pain, try to sit down slowly and give your beautiful belly a gentle, loving rub. Just rest as much as you can, you are doing a wonderful job carrying your little angel.
After all the struggles of IVF, every little pain can make our heart skip a beat, but round ligament pain is very common as your body expands. Try supporting your lower back with a cushion and moving gently. If the pain is ever too sharp or accompanied by spotting, please reach out to your doctor immediately for reassurance.
