what does it feel like?

I hear a lot of round ligament pain. What exactly does it feel like and where does it occur on your body IG;sides,lower belly,etc. And when do you usually get it.
I'm 24 weeks and the last few days I've had crampy aches in my lower and side belly. I know its not Braxton Hicks (been getting those since20wks)
Thought maybe it was a uti, but I don't think so now, maybe gas pains...just trying to rule things out before I over think things. Thanks in advance ladies.

For me its how I knew I was pregnant. It for me feels like my stomach muscles are being pulled/torn.  Sometimes its a slight pain others it will stop me dead in my tracks. Staying hydrated is the best way for me to keep it from being bad. Good luck. Hope your pain goes away soon.

Kinda like a stabbing sensation. Can last a moment or much longer. No fun. But definitely normal.

It feels like a quick, sharp pain that can be shooting. Can last a few seconds or a little longer. It feels like you pulled a muscle or something. I'd even get them from my belly button to my side from time to time
