Round ligament pain at 6 weeks?

Hi All,

I am 6 weeks with my third pregnancy and am having what I think is RLP occasionally. I experienced it quite early with both of my two boys first so. At about 14 or 15 weeks and second one at about 11. I've had a bad cough lately and the other night I got the momentary stabbing pain on my right side with a coughing fit. This has happened about 3 times. It feels exactly like RLP did but I am wondering if it is too early for that? Of course I started thinking about an ectopic but I have no idea if that would be more constant or severe.

Everything else is great, no spotting or bleeding, just an occasional light cramping/pulling sensation, that I experienced with my previous 2 pregnancies. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks :

I was having sharp pain in my stomach the other night and I called my dr. (Never had it with my first). The very first thing they asked me was if I had an ultra sound yet. I said yes, but if you haven't they might want you to go in. Since I had an ultra sound and everything looked good, they told me to take a hot (but not too hot) shower and see if that helps and it did, so maybe try that and they also told me that if it ever lasts a really long time (like an hour+) then to go in. Just to let you know though, my pain had me in tears and it woke me up from sleeping (although who knows how I moved in my sleep). I am 10w3d.

I've had RLP since 8dpo. It's actually better now than it was. It was never sharp just a dull ache and a little less dull if I pushed on it. I think it can happen at any time in pregnancy from hat I've read. Also I did have an u/s 2 weeks ago and saw a sac in my ute so happy it was in the right spot!

Thanks, Ladies.

I did have RLP in both my pregnancies and it felt exactly the same. It's only when I cough and only last a second, then is gone. Definitely not unbearable though! It makes me feel better to know that RLP can happen at any time in pregnancy too.

Thanks for sharing!

I think it's normal. there have been a couple times where I've gotten it if I get up to quickly. if your stabbing pain is severe though, get checked out. but other than that I wouldn't worry :)
