How long should round ligament pain last?

[Latrice414]

I went to ER yesterday and day b4, i had a yeast infection and ketones in urine. My left side was contracting/cramping  every 5 min, i thought i was in labor or something.  First trip to er said no your not, your uterus is just irritable, HUGHHH?  and said its cramping from dehydration.  I go back second day bcuz the cramps/contractions are worse, painful, they hook me up on monitor, it shows no contractions, and she tells me its from round ligament pain and that also the yeast infection can irritate the uterus.  My question was, should i be having round ligament pain every 5 min for a whole 24 hour period.  This has been going on since thursday with no let up. And i no its happening in my sleep bcuz the pain has woke me up serveral times.  Im going to call my ob monday, but it just frustrates me bcuz i didnt think u should have round ligament pain consistently, i understand every few hours but every 5 min.  How can i work feeling like that, every 5 miin i ball up bcuz the pain is so bad.

Any suggestions or stories, is this normal? The montior says its not BH's or Contractions,

I had this problem of "round ligament pain" for over a week straight with no relief unless I was laying down. I was put on modified bedrest for that week. Then after that week, the pain was off and on for another week. I was tested up and down with no answers! I didn't have a uti, or yeast infection, was drinking plenty, had an u/s and baby was perfect. I was told by my midwife that because this will be my second baby, that the pains in pregnancy can be worse. So I had all the tests done and everything was normal. Thankfully it did go away and everything is fine. Definitely make sure they are not missing anything! An U/S can rule out other things as well. Also, be sure you are drinking PLENTY of water. I drank so much water and cranberry juice I had to use the bathroom every 30 min. I wanted to flush out my body in case it was a uti.

Latrce, I had the same type of pain a few months ago and when I went to the hospital they found out I had a yeast infection and a possible UTI. I was treated with antibiotics and haven't had that problem since...I was told to drink a lot of water and try not to drink a lot of carbonated beverages...My pain was coming like contractions and it freaked me out...

Hope you feel better and get some answers soon!

That's so weird it has to be something other than contractions and round ligament, but I wonder what.

Sorry you're in so much pain I hope whatever it is it stops soon. It sounds like some type of muscle spasm, but they're sure it's not your uterus? Maybe a pulled ab muscle. I've never heard of round ligament pain in 5 minute intervals. When I had my really bad bladder infection the pain would come and go every few minutes in waves. It felt like contractions, but it was just my bladder. Maybe you have the same thing. Where are you feeling the pain at?
