Scared the heck out of myself and my mother today. I started having quick, sharp pains that came and went. The pain was so strong I couldn't move, only cry out. I had no idea what to think so I called my mother crying and confused. We decided to go to the ER to get it checked out. Turned out to be Round Ligament Syndrome. Apartly, common during the second trimester. "Throughout pregnancy, the round ligaments will stretch and grow with the growing uterus and this can cause pain for the mother."
Here's a great site for those curious: http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/encyclopedia/R/Round-Ligament-Syndrome/
The doctor was kind enough to tell me I'll be experiencing other pains soon enough (back pains, etc). Joy. Here I thought I was having a pretty easy pregnancy thus far minus the horrible sleep patterns!
