Hiya ladies,well as you know im almost 8 weeks pregnant all but couple days,when  you get round ligament pain,when does it start? and how does it feel.i ask because earlier i had this really sharp pain across tummy,only lasted few seconds,but it came every few minutes,almost like contractions,which obviously wouldnt be having yet.they gone now.any ideas should i be concerned,im not bleeding or anything.but it was really painful..think i should know of these things,but been a long time since i had my son,thanks ladies..

Hi... I don't know if I'll be much help to you, but I believe round ligament pain typically doesn't start up until the second trimester (it's the strain that those ligaments get from the extra weight and pull of the baby in your uterus).  So again, anything is possible, but I think at 8 weeks, that's probably not the cause of your pain.  And like durhamjk1 said, it tends to happen when you make a sudden movement or sneeze or get up too quickly.

It's definitely good to keep an eye on it, and if you get it again, I'd say give your OB a call to let them know (just to rule out anything scary... and then that way you can put your mind at ease too).    Either way... good luck.

I started getting them about this time.  It does sound like round ligament pain to me.  Do you notice they increase in frequency when you move a certain way, get up really fast, cough, sneeze, etc.??  That is when round ligament pain was and still is more likely to happen for me and I am 23 weeks 5 days.  It feels like someone stabbed you in your stomach, but does not last long.
