so i am 6 months pregnant and last
saturday started having horrible pain that
started on my left side and came around
the front. It lasted for 3 hours before i
fell asleep. the next morning, it was
gone. but by about 1:00 it was back and
hurt all night until i fell asleep.
Tuesday, same thing. I called my doctor
and asked about it, i even went in to make
sure everything was ok. he told me its
probably just round ligament pain. I told
him i have tried EVERYTHING to get it to
go away,
Changed positions, sat down, medicene,
massage, bath, heat pad, everything. once
i start having the pain nothing makes it
go away. it hurts so bad. He told me thats
normal and not to worry and to take it
easy. Anyways i was looking on line for
some more info about round ligament pain,
and everything i find says the pain
shouldnt last for more than a few minutes
at a time.. should i get another opinion
about my pain, or just trust my doctor?
also if it is just round ligament what
else can i try to ease the pain.. ?

Sounds like you are doing all you can do.
I'm sorry to say that pregnancy can suck.
Some people get worse pains than others.
It is disheartening because some people
seem to have such an easy time at
pregnancy and think it is wonderful, while
others have an awful time.
Trust your doctor - but if it continues,
call him again and again and again. That
is what they are there for.
