Round ligament pain lasting a day and more?

Is it normal for round ligament pain to last for a day and more? I'm feeling a dull achey feeling at my lower abdomen, that sometimes shoots towards my groin area - goggling says most likely rl but now I'm not sure because it doesn't go away after a few minutes / hours :/ I'm week 22+5days for context

Hey mama! I totally understand your concern about the round ligament pain lasting for a day or more. It can be worrying when something like that happens during pregnancy. Round ligament pain is quite common, especially during the second trimester when your uterus is expanding rapidly. The dull achey feeling you're experiencing, which sometimes shoots towards your groin area, does sound like typical round ligament pain. However, it's also important to listen to your body and trust your instincts. If the pain is persistent and doesn't go away after a few minutes or hours, it might be a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider just to rule out any other potential issues. They can give you personalized advice and reassurance. In the meantime, try to find some relief by changing positions, taking warm baths, using a pregnancy support belt, or practicing gentle stretches. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest as well. Hang in there, mama! You're doing great at 22 weeks and 5 days. Take care of yourself and your little one. Sending you lots of positive vibes! 💕 https://invl.io/cll6she
