Discomfort lower abdomen

Hey everyone! I’m 19 weeks today and I’m having some annoying pains on the left side of my lower abdomen whenever I’m trying to put socks/shoes on, or if I need to pick up something from the floor ect.. basically feels like air stuck in my body but it isn’t 😂 I’m guessing it’s normal as baby is growing? Just in need of reassurance! Thanks xx

Could be pelvic girdle pain, keep a eye on it and if it persists call midwifes they will be able to assist you if it's anything worse x

@Sabrina thank you! It’s not severe but definitely uncomfortable and comes and goes so I’ll definitely let the midwife know to get it checked x

Round ligament pain?

I'm 20wks this weekend and I have the same. Almost like a heaviness and feels like have a balloon stuck in there haha. I've had round ligament pain too which comes and goes but for me that's a different sensation - more like a shooting pain/ache. I also assume it's where baby is getting bigger ! I feel like I can feel where he is now 🥰

Yes I'm having a lot of discomfort, thought it was wind or constipation but it didn't go after the loo. Called the hospital just to be sure & she said it sounds like round ligament pain and to take paracetamol and call again if it doesn't help. Probably harmless but not fun and definitely feels similar to trapped air

@Victoria that’s what I’m thinking, it’s not shooting pain tho, feels like it’s there all the time but I can only really feel the discomfort when I try to put shoes etc!

@Lauren yes that’s exactly what I was thinking! I thought it could be where the baby is now! I have my 20 weeks scan next Monday so I will definitely ask! x

@Julie yeah but it’s not painful to the point I would need paracetamol but I’ll definitely ask the midwife x
