I get this all the time..
my midwife told me it was this..
Round ligament pain is generally a brief, sharp, stabbing pain or a longer-lasting, dull ache that you may feel on one or both sides of your lower abdomen or deep in your groin, usually starting in your second trimester. It happens when the ligaments that support your uterus in your pelvis stretch and thicken to accommodate and support its growing size. You may feel a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting up from a bed or chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. Or you may feel a dull ache after a particularly active day, if you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity. Call your caregiver if this discomfort continues even after you've rested.
Hope that is some help..if you are worried..call your midwife or doctor

Hi everyone! Quick question how does one then know the difference between ligament pains and braxton hicks contractions? As I tend to get a really heafty dull sort of cramping pain when I go for walks, these pains can generally go on for a good few minutes and really have me bending over. Over the past week they seem to have gotten worse (now 24 weeks and 3 days)?
Any suggestions??

As your pregnancy progresses, Braxton Hicks contractions tend to come somewhat more often, but until you get to your last few weeks, they should remain infrequent, irregular, and essentially painless. Sometimes, though, Braxton Hicks are hard to distinguish from early signs of preterm labor. Play it safe and don't try to make the diagnosis yourself. If you haven't hit 37 weeks yet and you're having four or more contractions in an hour, or have any other signs of preterm labor, call your caregiver immediately.
hope this helps..i have never had them so i couldnt advise yet.

Cheers, thankfully the contractions / pains don't occur all the time maybe once a day and that's generally if I'm walking for more than 10 - 15 mins, which is a pain as I feel I therefore need to stop doing my walking which is presently my main means of keeping fit (that's what you want to call it!).
