SHARP lower abdominal pain left side

Alright I need some help. Google won’t do me any good… I’m having lower abdominal pain on my left side that only hurts when I move or try to walk. Like I can’t even stand up straight without wanting to hit my knees because it’s so sharp and painful. I didn’t experience this with my first pregnancy at all so I’m a little concerned/confused. If I lean to the right when I’m sitting on the couch after a few minutes I can get the pain to stop but if I move AT ALL it comes right back. What the hell is it and why won’t it stop? Should I go to be seen?

Sounds like PGP. Might google it and see if the rest of the symptoms match up. I think I have it too 😣

I would call the nurse line. Are perhaps constipated? I get pain there, not that severe, and my doctor said it might be due to being backed up.

Avatar

I WISH I was constipated 😂 at least it would have an explanation for the pain lmfao 🤣 those are words I’d never thought I’d say. I’ve have regular bowel movements no issue thankfully

I’m about to google that right now!

I do have that ☹️ I didn’t know this could be apart of that though. My SPD started in January 🙃 fml

Avatar

i would get it when i strained my body too much. i just assumed it was round ligament pain from moving and stretching

I think mine started sometime in February! I saw posts on here about other women doing fun things well into 37 weeks and I’m over here in so much pain waddling at a turtles pace in the grocery 😓 my fiancé just thinks I’m being dramatic

my husband gets the same way and it’s just getting worse by the day 🙃 we have a 16 month old wild child toddler who doesn’t understand he can’t jump on mommy like he does anymore because it puts me into tears. It’s not been fun

Yep sounds like PGP. I’ve got that too, I started yesterday doing exercises from YouTube videos and sleeping on my right side with a pillow folded in half helped last night get a semi decent sleep.

what was the video name? I’m desperate for relief

I’m experiencing the same thing, I’m going to the obgyn tomorrow so I have to bring it up

I’ve been switching offices so I haven’t been seen in about a month (I’m 35w+3) but FINALLY have another appointment Wednesday and I seriously can’t wait so they can hopefully help me out

Avatar

Goodluck! I switched offices at 33 weeks because I wasn’t connecting with the midwife and I’m so much happier. I hope this works out better for you and I hope they find you some relief! 🩷

Avatar

thank you! I finally got brave enough after my original OB told me even if I went into spontaneous labor that they wouldn’t let me try for a VBAC 🙃 soo F that I found a new office. I’d like to at least TRY for a vbac not be unwillingly forcing into a csection 😵‍💫

Avatar

mine refused doing a C-section when that’s what I wanted (and now need anyways), and also talked crap about my mother (who is my support person) at the appointments she didn’t come to, so I had enough of that.

Avatar

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. I would be FURIOUS. How unprofessional of them ☹️

Avatar

thank you! I’m much better here, they saw my ultrasound and scheduled me a C-section for end of march! I hope you can get the vbac 🙏🙏

Avatar

fingers crossed 🤞!! Good luck mamas!

Avatar

good luck to you too!

I found it really helped. And the pillow between your legs at night and sleeping on the most comfortable side. So my right side is better then left.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
