ligament pain

Well after being a symptomless wonder I'm finally starting to get some niggles.

What are you ladies doing to try and ease the round ligament pain in your tummies?

I keep getting those stretchy stitch like pains and its really difficult to get comfy, I had a terrible nights sleep! boo.

i invested in a maternity pillow, it makes sleeping so much easier!

If im in lots of pain from it (been hospitilised once it was that bad) I get on my sofa and put pillows behind my back and in front of me so I cant roll about. I also had to cut back on exercise as I seemed to be pulling lots of ligaments. (my tummy ones started while I wasa out riding my bike at about 5 months pregnant.

I bought a maternity pillow its about 5 feet tall and i tuck a leg over it again helps stop rolling. Also when sitting up in bed roll towards the edge and swing legs out, dont justr try sitting up even if you can. When gettong up off a low chair or sofa use your arms so you aren't depndent on tummy muscles. Also i've found twisting at waist painful so turn properly especially if reaching to pick something up.

I got my first bout of ligament pain when I was swimming I put it down to a stitch but have since realised its ligament pain...I think getting some more pillows may be the order of the day!
