Sharp/severe pain when baby moves
I’ve been having a really bad sharp pain on the lower left side of my stomach when baby makes certain movements. I have brought this up to midwife but they said it’s probably round ligament pain. The pain is only ever on my left side and has been happening for a few months now but is becoming more frequent and painful as baby moves and often catches me off guard. I’m currently 37 weeks, is this normal or something I should raise with midwife again?

@Jessie ah okay thank you. I was just getting worried that it might be something more serious as the pain is so bad. This is my second baby and I never had any round ligament pain with my first or anything like it so this is a very new experience for me.
If your ever majorly concerned call triage and get checked out it’s better to be safe
@Sian definitely, I’ll see how it goes for now but if it gets much worse I’ll probably just call. Thank you
Baby could be pressing on a nerve when they are in a certain position. I had it the other day when I was having a scan and that’s what the sonographer said it could be

I know it’s probably super stressful but she’s probably right about the round ligament pains. I had them too really bad. My doctor basically told me not to worry and everything hurts at 37 weeks on.
