Re: hurting, don't know what to do...

hey Vikki,

sounds to me like you're not only experincing round ligament pain,

you also seem to have some sciatic nerve pain as well, i'm a nurse,

not a doctor, but i'm 32 weeks and woke up this morning in the same

pain that started at my lower back and radiated down my legs to my

ankles, sometimes, your baby will situate itself in such a way that

the sciatic nerve is compressed, and believe me, there is a very

thin line between compressed and pinched when it comes to nerve

pain, the only thing that gave me relief is position change and a

heating pad, along with the tylenol, I would, however, steer clear of

the tylenol pm, anything that sedates you will sedate your baby as

well....just adding my two cents..good luck and congratulations

I know round ligament pain can be extremely painful. I had a lot more of it in

my pregnancy with my son 4 years ago. This pregnancy I am plagued with sciatic

back pain!!!Ugggh!

Maybe the baby dropped and that is why you are having the pain. I know my son

has dropped in the last week and it feels very painful at times in a different

place.......like low low abdomen or the top of my cervix/vagina. Its not

terribly comfortable and the pain can take my breath away. Not to mention

everything is pushed up anyways due to this big baby so breathing is a bit hard!

Did your Dr check and see if you are dialated at all?

I don't know what you could do either except soak in a nice warm bath. It

sounds to me like the baby is pressing on your sciatica nerve. that always hurt

my back and legs but baby dod move off mine eventually but in the meantime it

ws wuite painful. I hope you feel better soon.
