POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. Round ligament pain typically occurs during the second trimester of pregnancy, generally starting around 16 to 20 weeks. This pain happens as the ligaments supporting your uterus stretch and grow to accommodate your expanding baby. It's common to experience it as sharp or aching pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen, especially with sudden movements, coughing, or changing positions.
For most women, round ligament pain decreases after the second trimester as the body adjusts. However, some might experience it intermittently throughout pregnancy, particularly if the baby grows quickly or there are significant changes in the body's position. It's usually harmless, but if the pain becomes severe or is accompanied by other symptoms like bleeding or fever, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider.
