Round Ligament Pain

[First Baby White]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the new year!!!
Just a quick question, has anyone experienced round ligament pain?
I am 11 weeks today and since yesterday I have had intermitant stabbing pains on my right hand side, went to the doctors yesterday and have been put on antibiotics for a UTI but I have been reading up on the pain and have read alot about round ligament pain which starts from wk 8- wk 16 and wondered if this could be it as well.
If you have has any experience please let me know!!
Thanks all!!!

hi hun, i got this a lot earlier on, now i get a little twang nown again, especially if i stretch too far etc

if you don't think you have a UTI don't take the anti-bi's - no need to pollute your body with them if their not needed.

doctor tried to give me them when i had abnormal bleeding - even when i told them it was vaginal, so def not a UTI

do you have pain when peeing/blood etc? xxx

I had that sort of pain in the early stages, it sounds like it's just stretching of ligaments as you've read. Did the doc test your wee? I wouldn't have thought he would prescribe something for a UTI for no reason..I'm the Queen of UTIs and sometimes it can be so mild you can hardly notice it. Even a trace of blood/protein in your wee needs to be treated, especially if you're pregnant, just to be on the safe side.

They tested my urine with a dip stick and couldnt find anything but the dc said they arent very reliable so she is sending it off to be grown!!! that takes till thursday and by then i will have finished the antibiotics course so she said it was worth while doing just in case!!
Just wanted to check if anyone else had had these pains this early??
I tend to have them in the right side but if i sit down they go!!!
The reason they think i have a UTI is when i pee i get an aching pain above my pelvis bone where your bladder is and also i had a slight pink tinged discharge after peeing, sorry if TMI so not sure whats going on lol
Didnt think being pregnant would be so worrying, i had a silly idea that you get pregnant, grow a bump and thats it ha ha if only!!!

there's so many worries isn't there

if you have the aching pain then i would take the anti-bi's, i've just had personal experience of being prescribed medication for no proper clinical reason, however you are defo best being safe than sorry hun

let us know the results you get back.

my ligament pain was usually in the right side too, i think there are 4 ligaments, lower left, lower right, then higher left, higher right, so it does sound as if it could be ligament pain

lol d/w i think that's what everyone thinks at first! Really sounds like stretching pains you are getting, and the other pain sounds a bit like a UTI, specially the pink tinge..better to be safe then sorry with the medicine!

You;ll get so many odd pains throughout. SOme are scarier than others but you will get used to them. Unless they have you crippled over in pain, I wouldn't worry too much

I still have RLP now!
