round ligament pain around 12 weeks

[chiwifey]

I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow and since yesterday I've been having some pain in my lower abdomen that can be pretty consistent several times during the day. I'm guessing it's RLP (I think I remember this from my previous pregnancy) and that it's normal because this belly is stretching but also my IF brain always pops in to help me worry that it's something more. 

Anyone else have this around 12 weeks?

I have it from the beginning, but only when I stand up too quick, stretch slightly funny, or sneeze. Is it usually one-sided?

It definitely seems to start when I stand up to quickly or move suddenly but is on both sides, kind of all over my lower abdomen.

I take that back it is mostly on one side but can be achy all over.

I've had RLP since at least 12 weeks if not before.

Sounds perfectly normal, chiwifey. Just take care when you get up as much as you can remember to!

[chiwifey]

Thanks gals! Sometimes you just need to know you're normal

Yes, normal. Both my pregnancies around 14-16w. Pretty disconcerting but it was nothing more than RLP both times.

chiwifey, I've had it since around 11 weeks. MFM said because there are 2 in there it could present itself earlier. No worries.... perfectly normal!

I had a lot of RLP at around 12 weeks. I'm still getting it now too!

Thanks everyone! I'm really hoping this mean I'm going to make the full transition from "burrito belly" to "baby bump"

chiwifey, Oh you will get there! Just wait, lol..I kept thinking I wanted to look "pregnant" not just fat...if I had only known..

[chiwifey]

breezyweezer haha! I know, every time I say it out loud I think about how huge I'm going to be at some point and wish I was back to just having my burrito belly.
