I have really intense pains in my belly (I think its called round ligament pain but I fust call them growing pains.) There really intense and the only time it doesn't hurt is when I lie on my back. Rolling over, standing or sitting is so intense I start to cry. Tylenol doesn't help. What else can I try or do I need to just acept this pain for now..?

    Ya I had that n was so worried I went to the doctor n just found out it was one of ur main muscles stretching u should only take acetaminophen not tylenol that may help too but he said there us really nothing u can do..apply heat always helps me now I'm having extreme pain in my lower right abdomen n found out its my uterus growing n the muscles around it being soo small isn't helping all this -round ligament- pain but I hope u start feeling better

    Yes, I know what you mean I called them growing pains as wells, and around 17weeks mine were so bad I went to the er! There wasnt but they could do but give me a pain shot that was safe durring pregnancy. I cried and cried for hours, they finally went away around 20weeks, but I hear they come back later on. Im 23weeks right now almost 24

    Thanks ladies..at least I'm not alone but sorry were all going thru this :( I went to the er around 17 weeks to and they said it was a normal pain and would get better as I got used to it but now at 20 weeks it seems worse. I need to try a heating pad but warm showers don't seem to help much. This to shall pass eventually! Thanks again for helping me feel a little better and not so alone.

    My mom was really close to taking me to the hospital cause I didn't kno what it was I just had my appendix taken out n the baby only had a 50% chance of making it n that was when I was 2 months along they told me if heat doesn't work try an ice pack n u can take 2 acetaminophen tablets which helped me a lil bit I wish a guy could go thru this
