Will they ever end?!?

Hello everyone!!  I'm 14w5d and I've been experiencing what I think are round ligament pains (occasionally a sharp pain, but usually a dull, cramp like feeling up my bikini line) for the past week...I feel it intermittently throughout the day- it seems like it's always there.  If I move a certain way, while I'm walking, and even when I'm just sitting.  It doesn't feel like AF cramps, but it still worries me...is it normal to have these pains for such long periods of time?  I realize I'm going through a growth spurt...my little bump just moved up a little in the last few days...but I would appreciate any stories, feedback, or consolation.  Thanks in advance.

I stated to exp that at around 11 weeks to 15 weeks and then it tapered off. Now at 20 weeks the pelvic pain has come back even worse. It is all normal but sure does hurt sometimes.
Good Luck it should lessen soon and then increae at a later date when you start to get bigger.

Its deffinately normal, and it could be your constant companion till you give birth.  Ive got them too, even though this is my third pg (not counting two mc, that happened very early)

Good to know. I have been MISERABLE since yesterday. Just hit 20 weeks and sure hope it eases up some.

the pain will ease up very soon. the doc told my to lay down and keep my feet up for a few days, and after following her directions i felt better. try to relax and take your time when moving around. i hope it gets better for you soon. keep us posted:)

I also have a sharp/burning stabbing pain in my pelvic bone. Ouchie. Is this the pelvic bone seperating?

I hear you hun!  Those pains are no joke.  I made the mistake of standing up too quickly one day and i thought my torso was going to tear in half!  lol.  I'm 18w3d and have been experiencing them since about 12 wks.  They come and go...some days they're bad..other's hardly noticeable.  I think i may just be getting used to it.  

Harley...I get that pain in my pelvic bone as well.  I'm not sure exactly what it is..but my sister had it too with her first 2 children.  But after all is said and done, it will all be worth it.  I just started feeling kicks..and i'm beyond excited..i can't imagine the joy of holding my little girl in my arms for the first time!

Thank you so much, Ladies!!  It's so good to know it's all normal...phew!!!  As if there aren't enough things to worry about without adding ligament pains to the mix...gggrrrr.

The pelvic pain is called pubic bone dysfunction. I had it with my daughter.  There are alot of good websites that give you suggestions on how to lessen the pain.  ANd just so you know some dr's don't diagnose this so just because they dont say anything trust me it is not in your head.
