Talk to Me About Round Ligament Pain

[ktmac]

I think that's what I'm having. Google isn't specific enough for me though. 

It's like a sharp, stabby pain a couple inches below my belly button. Right down the middle. I had it first this morning while laying in bed (possible that I switched positions or something, I don't remember). And then had it again after sitting back down at my desk. Each time lasted a few seconds - maybe 30-60 seconds?

Is this what RLP is? I am 13w2d

Sounds like round ligament pains to me. They suck. I know they serve a purpose, but seriously?

Thanks everyone - I ended up calling my OB because I love her and she doesn't judge me for being crazy, and I didn't want to sit here and drive myself crazy. Seems to be RLP, which means things are moving along! Got a quick look at Rocky and she found the hearbeat very quickly on the doppler.

Yeah, RLP sucks!

That's awesome. I told mine about how I was freaking out about seeing the "small for gestational age" on the visit summary in my health portal last time, and she said "why on earth didn't you call me??" I said "IDK, I thought I was probably freaking out for nothing and didn't want to call with every crazy thing..." she said "I've known you for years. I know you're not crazy. So call me next time before you worry, that's an order." Oh. OK. 

yeah it didn't take me long to get reeeeeal comfortable with all the nurses and dr. at the practice. i literally called, said who i was and why i was calling and they just said come on in. 

my doc's "after hours" number is her direct cell phone. LOVE.
