I'm 26 weeks and some questions

[abell1]

I don’t really think I should be concerned about it but for the last 3 weeks my sons movements have picked up a lot. He seems to be awake more now than before.

Then I get this pain every now and again. It is pain like he is just pulling on something. It will stop me in my tracks because it hurts. I think it might be round ligament pains but I don’t really know. This I my first pregnancy I don’t know what exactly to expect.

Thanks!

Ligament pain!

My baby seemed to be awake CONSTANTLY in the womb. But remember, babies move in their sleep, too. So just because he seems to be awake all the time doesn't mean that he is awake.

And it could be round ligament pain if it is in front of your belly. If the pain is in your back/butt/legs it could be sciatic pain.

As far as movement - don't be concerned! The baby is begining to have less room in there so you are far more aware of his movements now! I swear I can feel just a finger move lol (going on 27wks)!!! I'm not sure about the round ligament pain though - I don't know what it feels like. Good Luck!!

Sounds like round ligament pain. It can be very painful at times.
