Pains in lower left side...

Hi,

I have had similar thing happen to me more when im lieing down and think its just the skin streching as baby is not in the best position when im lieing down or sitting or somtimes just walking or somthing it has really helped to put some polliws under my tummy when lieing down, My mid wife siad its just as my soft tissue is relaxing the mucles are not what they used to be so just take things slower and be ware of getting up to quick etc, (im now 30 weeks and cant just sit up in bed or jump out of a seat its all getting much more strategic and slow easy motions)

Hope this helps otherwise if your not sure and think it might be harmful to you your mid wife is paid to care for you ring her and ask early before the appointment to be rest assured

It sounds like stretching to me, it will probably be uncomfy but not necessarily painful (until you're at my stage ) ... as with anything, if you're concerned it never hurts to give the mw a call. It's her job.

Inflamed ligament ! Well, maybe. I had it on my right side when I was pregnant and ended up having a week off work because it was the ligament that supports the whole uterus that I'd manage to inflame... not fun.

Yep, as everyone has said, it's your ligaments stretching. I had this too - esp after lying on my back briefly (in later pregnancy) or on either side. I literally was standing bent over at the chiropractors one day because of it and he told me it's the ligaments supporting your pelvis etc that are getting all stretched and they can hurt.
