Round Ligament Pain — am I dramatic?

Hey everyone! Wondering what you alls experience is with round ligament pain? I recently have been experiencing rather severe (severe for a mama who has had relatively no bothersome pregnancy symptoms until this) pain! I described in great detail the pains I am feeling to my doctor and she diagnosed it as round ligament pain & has even given a referral to PT that I will be scheduling tomorrow! It literally feel like my bones are dislocating at the bikini line — as if I’ve slammed myself into a split (never before done) and it hurts to walk and move! Has anyone had this experience and what helped? (I know RLP is a part of the experience but wow I feel like I’ve broken a bone and can’t walk lol)

I had this with my last pregnancy. Physical therapy helped a ton! I was also making sure to do the exercises as much as I could at home.

That is literally the most promising thing I’ve heard all week LOL! I will be getting on the PT schedule for the next available slot! ❤️😂

my round ligament pain just started around 15 weeks 😭 today i felt so much pressure that it hurt while walking for a bit so i looked it up and apparently it’s not a threat and is normal , i started off with pelvic pain in the beginning i would feel them grow each week man so im over here i getting used to all these pains 😭😂

It's rough! I also get lightning crotch. Sleeping with pillows between my thighs helps! And pt

Whyyy do I hate all the boy names 😫
Suggestions welcome 💙

for the wives 💍

for my engaged and married mommas:

who did you have in your dress shopping appointment(s)?

did anyone regret having people there outside of your immediate close circle?

In need of boy name suggestions!

Me and my partner cannot agree on a name! We both hate each other’s choices.

His are:
Heath
Otis
Rupert
Evan
Cedric
Liam

Mine are:
Ashton
Ronnie
Miles
Gabriel
Bobby
Elliott

Can anyone think of a compromise or name that might fit both tastes?? 😭

Bumps!

When did all of your bumps begin to show?

How did you ladies not spazz during c-section?

I understand you don’t feel pain but you feel everything else and I panicked the first time and they had to put me under, scared if I have to do another c-section I will panic again😂

FTM here. Would like to get my daughter something she can “keep” for her first birthday but I don’t want to spend a lot of money when she’s quite happy with a packet of wipes and a sock. She’s got cuddly toys coming out her ears and loads of toys she fiddles with like a tambourine etc so don’t want to spend more money on those things and we don’t have a fat lot of storage space at our house.

My parents are getting a trike for her which I think will be useful. Thought about a wooden dollhouse or a kitchen that she will grow into and have for a good few years. That’s a big purchase out the way and then can add to it for following birthdays/xmasses or ask people to get little bits for it. Just not sure if it’s worth it? What are other moms doing? Or what did your older kids find useful?
