Piercing stomach pain

[dolly]

Hi everyone,

Last night, for the second time, I experienced an extremely painful sensation in my belly. It didn't hurt as much when I stood, or laid on my back, but lying on my side was unbearable. Pain can only be described as a really bad stitch, but all over, rather than in one area.

I had it once before, and when I woke in the morning, it had gone. That is the only reason that I didn't go to A&E.

Has anyone experienced this? Is it the babe getting into a weird position? extreme indigestion? I am meeting with MW tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone else has had similar.

I have this, mine tends to be at the sides, if I move quickly or without support.

Mine is also like a severe stabbing stitch pain which can stay for ages or go suddenly.

According to my m/w it's just ligaments and muscle under the strain of our expanding bumps and apparently is usually worse on the right hand side.

Hope you're feeling better now

Dolly are you using anything to support your bump? I used to get horrendous pain which woke me up and it was a combination of ligaments stretching and the weight of the bump pulling down when I was asleep, got a wedge pillow and no problems now

I get stirch but it tends to be mostly on my right hand side...I got it a lot last week but think LO was having a growth spurt not so bad this week.

just check it out with your m/w though
