ligament pain?

[first_timeMomma]

hi ladies. im 14 weeks now and im starting to have painful aching all across my lower abdomen. my doctor told me a few weeks ago i might start having more ligament pain in the 2nd trimester, but because i didnt have any at the time, i didnt ask any questions about it. is anyone else struggling with this, and are there any tricks or exercises to help make it go away?

I started to get nervous earlier today bc I was and still and experiencing a little cramping it was constant for awhile just kind of uncomfortable but seems to be getting better now that I've been sitting down had lunch and had some more water. I walk two miles everyday and never have cramping after but I today for about the last half mile and for awhile after that I have been having cramping. Anyone think that's abnormal. Ill be 17 weeks tomorrow.

Oh man yup ligament pain. Thay was how I knew I was pregnant before taking a test. Woke up one morning went to get out of bed and there was that stretching pain. Only happens when I'm pregnant so I knew right than. Anyway lots and lots of water and if you are able lay on your side for about ten mins, and or switch as well. I also will use my achy bags and lay them on my tummy. Or a heating pad. Good luck.

I started getting some at 19 weeks and I've been drinking Tons of water and that has helped me out lots.  I try to drink a gallon a day.
