Almost 27 weeks and slight lower right side abdominal pain?
Hi I am about 27 weeks pregnant this week! Woohoo but for the last few days I have some slight pain on my lower right side of my abdomen. Its at any time walking or sitting. What do you think it could be?

1. Its probably ligament pain. The ligaments are stretching to support your growing belly. They are sometimes painful. I get them too. if you are worried, just call your doc to put your mind at ease.
2. It could be your ligaments stretching. It can be pretty uncomfortable!
3. First always talk to your doctor, but if this is your first things like this can seem scary.Right now your body is producing MAJOR amounts of a hormone called relaxin (spelling may be wrong, sorry). It causes all of your muscles, joints, and ligaments to stretch and relax. Its to prepare you for the "big day". But the flip side of this is you can pull muscles and strain them easier and therefore you will feel more aches and pains more than when you are not pregnant. Probably nothing to worry about unless it becomes acute.
4. I am also 27 weeks this week and I have the same thing I brought it up at my last appt and my mid wife said it was ligament pains....I was also concerned b/c I couldn't even walk and it hurt so bad across the bottom of my abdomen but she says its normal and the baby was probably sitting low and was cause the ligaments to strecth and hurt reall bad....so I am guessing its just round ligament pain and the baby might be mostly on your right side....if your in real horrible pain like not even being able to tolerate then see a doctor, but if not then call your doctor if your concerned to ease your mind!
Good luck and congrats!!!!
Yay to May babies when are you due???
5. I read that either your ligaments are stretching or the baby is moving and it hits part that it shouldnt be hitting.
