Round ligament pain?  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I will be 41 weeks on Friday and am trying to get things going....so I went for a VERY short walk and I barely made it that far!

I was contracting but only once or twice and one of those times I got this awful pain that made me almost double over, like round ligament pain. Could this have something to do with babes position or should I be worried?

I am supposed to go in tomorrow to see my m/w (I will be 1 day short of 41 weeks) and she mentioned something about talking about "stirring things up". I don't know much about stripping membranes but what I DO know is all negative stuff. I am GBS+ (at 34 weeks) and have been taking extra probiotics, garlic and did 2 weeks of echinacea. Plus I am taking an emergen-c packet almost everyday, in hopes of getting rid of it. I won't be tested again so I am just hoping it is working. BUT can't stripping your membranes cause PROM. I was also GBS + with DD2 and did all the above things and she was fine BUT my BOW didn't break until her head was partly out. So I am hoping for the same this time.

Sorry for all my rambling, I am just kind of stressing out. I have never been this pregnant before...I am really miserable and this new pain (well not really new I had it earlier in the pregnancy of course) and not knowing what to do about my appt. tomorrrow just has me kind of stressed out.

I get that frequently. Nothing to worry about. And it was definitely worse the other day when I walked a few hundred feet to the playground .

Yep, I get it all of the time! I just went on a cleaning tour of my hous and have RLP and pelvic pain now.

I get those kinds of pains too, I walk everyday and some days are worse than others.

If I were GBS+ I would not have my membranes stripped. I have heard that stripping and even exams can lead to earlier rupture. Just my opinion though
