Hey Ladies!
Today I am 19 weeks! Over the past week, I have started to get:
lower abdominal cramps (round ligament pains)
lower backaches
hip pain on either side when sleeping
waking up every night 3-4 times in 8 hours to pee
headaches at least 3 days this past week
Are you also experiencing some/all of the above?

And, please explain what Braxton-Hicks contractions feel like in comparison to round ligament pains...

Thanks for letting me know! Janelle

YES! The lower abdominal pain. It hurts really bad but gets better after I stand. I take a tylenol and call it a day. That helps all the time. I can't wait for the hip pain to set in. lol.

no lower abdominal pain yet. I don't remember having that until the very end with my son though.

I have horrible hip pain when sleeping though-yikes!!

Due sometime in November

I've been having terrible round ligament pain that lasts as long as a minute each time, and it happens almost every time I get up from a sitting position...and I have terrible pubic symphisis pain, it makes it hard to walk...thankfully no hip pain yet, but I'm sure it's coming I had it terribly with DD...

I'm having the lower abdomen pain when I get up in the middle of the night to pee. It hurts so bad.

i have been having lower abdominal pain and peeing in the middle of the night. i try to cut myself early with the drinks though so i wont get up as much but i get dehydrated if i do

__________________

Yes to everything. I am so glad you posted this because I was starting to think I was odd -- with DS none of this began until much later. I would say this set in with this baby at 18 weeks, I am 19 weeks yesterday.

I have round ligament pain as well. I was also getting migraines but that seems to have gone away.

I have the ligament pain too but BH contractions only once of twice a week. I my case the tummy just goes hard whereas the ligament pain is pretty sharp.

I have all the symptoms you have except the BH cntx.
I'm sure it won't get any better for us either. I think it's all down hill from here, lol.

I have horrible hip pain, sometimes it's almost impossible to walk. Carrying DD is getting hard too, it hurts my hips/legs so much. I just ache all the time!

I pee all the time too, about every 2 hours probably, every 3-4 hours at night.

What's round ligament pain like? I dunno if I've had that.. I've had a few braxton hicks though.

Oh yea the round ligament pains I get feel like a sharp pinching or stabbing that can last for minutes to hours! I have been getting nerve pinching in my back as well when I sleep. At night I get one twice to potty. I was getng headaches there for awhile a few times a week, but ow only once if that. As for Braxton Hicks 'm the queen of them as I suffer from Irritable Uterus, it sucks!

I expect Ethan's arrival between Oct. 20-23 , if I make it that long!

I get lower back pain at night and can't get into a comfortable position. I get up to pee at least 2x a night if not more.

I've had the RLP also. This is my first baby so I don't know if the pain comes and goes...but I haven't had it for about amonth now. I get mentrual like cramps from time to time but nothing crucial. It all last about 5 seconds or so. What i have been feeling alot is weird....its like a pricking stab inside my vagina. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Its creepy. Its not a painful stab just uncomfortable.

Also, I get up to pee at least 4 times a night.

I am having all of it except BH (but I am clueless as to what a BH feels like so i'm really not sure). Does it ever get any better? I see a chiropractor once a week that helps a lot but only last for about a day and a half. One good thing is my little one is really low so I'm not having any rib pains thank God!

I know what you are talking about. I just had that the other night. Don't know what it is, but it stings more than anything, well and annoying! I don't know what BH feels like or what round ligament pain feels like. I am assuming I haven't had either...I dunno.

I might get up once to go the the bathroom during the night is all.
