Round ligament pain in pregnancy is more common than many people realize. It can feel like a sharp, pulling, or cramping pain, especially with quick movements like standing up, rolling over, coughing, or sneezing.
Try these 4 gentle stretches for relief:
โข ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐ฝ ๐๐น๐ฒ๐
๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ต โ tuck your tailbone and gently shift forward
โข ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ต โ extend one leg out and lean forward slightly
โข ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐น๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ง๐ถ๐น๐๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐
๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น โ gently rock between tucking and arching your pelvis
โข ๐ง๐ฎ๐ถ๐น ๐ช๐ฎ๐ด ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ต โ on all fours, curve your torso gently side to side
Move slowly, listen to your body, and stop if anything feels painful. If discomfort keeps coming back, pelvic floor PT can help support a more comfortable pregnancy through better posture, core support, and movement patterns.
