Yikes, round ligament pain is no joke! I worked a health fair last Saturday and it was a long day on my feet: starting at 6 a.m. and ending at 1 p.m. Plus I tweaked my lower left back trying to pick up water bottles. So no more heavy lifting for me from now on. Didn't get to bed until 11:30 that night, and then when I woke on Sunday I felt a dull throbbing pain on my lower right abdomen. Google and my pregnancy books said it was round ligament pain brought on by too much activity. It's basically my belly stretching out. For 4 straight hours! Thankfully it has only struck a couple more times but with less intensity.
I finally ordered a few maternity items of clothing. Never thought I'd be so excited to get elastic-waist pants! Our little guy is starting to move a little more. Still feel the fluttering sensations but I'm pretty sure there has been some karate kicking and kickboxing too. My sleep patterns are so messed up - I wake multiple times during the night and have had the oddest dreams (which seems to be normal during pregnancy). Otherwise, things are good!
