What is ligament pain during pregnancy?
Ligament pain during pregnancy is very common, especially in the second trimester. It is related to the stretching of the ligaments that support the uterus, necessary to accommodate the growing baby. This specific pain is sometimes referred to as Lacomme syndrome . It often manifests as pulling or discomfort in the lower abdomen, hips, groin, or even pelvis. Sometimes, the pain can radiate to the thighs or lower back. The main cause is the increase in relaxin , a hormone that relaxes tissues in preparation for childbirth. Simple sudden movements or a change in position can trigger these sensations. Although this pain can be impressive, it is generally not serious.
When should you consult a healthcare professional?
Even if ligament pain is generally benign , certain signs should prompt you to consult quickly.
If the pain becomes severe, persistent, or is accompanied by fever , bleeding , or regular contractions, it is important to seek advice from your doctor or midwife. Never hesitate to consult if in doubt.
It's better to ask a question than to dwell on your worries. A professional can rule out any complications and reassure you about what your body is going through. Being well-supported and listened to is essential during pregnancy.
How to relieve ligament pain?
When ligament pain becomes bothersome, simple actions can bring you a lot of relief .
Step one: Rest and adopt comfortable positions. Using a pregnancy pillow to support your belly and back can really improve your daily comfort. Also consider wearing a support belt to reduce pressure on the ligaments, such as the Physiomat belt, which is often recommended by healthcare professionals.
Gentle heat is your friend: a warm shower or the local application of our Mama Cool (a soothing hot/cold gel strip, safe for pregnancy) can gently relax or warm your muscles.
Don't hesitate to practice gentle exercises like prenatal yoga, after validation by your midwife or doctor. Self-massage can also be very helpful. Gently massage your lower abdomen and hips with a pregnancy stretch mark oil to soften the skin and release tension.
Finally, good hydration and a balanced diet promote tissue elasticity and reduce discomfort associated with pregnancy.
