Pains in stomach

Ok so the other night I woke up because I was getting what felt like cramps from a period. They werent too bad but bad enough they woke me up. Then the next day my belly felt sore kind of like I pulled a muscle in it. Then this morning I woke up and couldnt stand up straight because it felt like it was pulling a muscle. All this started after I had my 20wk u/s done. Could it just be round ligament pain or could something be wrong.

I have had cramps on and off during the 4 months and I have asked my doctor about it. She said that if it isn't accompanied by bleeding and if the pain is not severe or intense then you shouldn't worry too much about it. I would check with your doctor to be sure.

could be syatica (sorry about the spelling) its where your baby is on a nerve aand can cause cramping or muscle spazams. i get them all the time. it could also be your stomach muscles streching which is normal. as your body is growing your muscles do strech or can tear.

always remember if in doubt ask your midwife or doctor.
GOOD LUCK with your pregnancy and i hope all goes well for you

I had the exact thing happen to me with both of my pregnancies (never had anything to do with US). From what the Dr. said, it was just my ligaments stretching, and nothing to worry about. Hope that helps!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
