RLP (aka OMG & WTF?!)

If you're not familiar, allow my friends at BabyCenter to hook you up on the deets:

You may feel round ligament pain as a short jabbing sensation if you suddenly change position, such as when you're getting out of bed or out of a chair or when you cough, roll over in bed, or get out of the bathtub. You may feel it as a dull ache after a particularly active day — when you've been walking a lot or doing some other physical activity.

Hmmm, fairly accurate. But it also happens when you sneeze, blow your nose, pee, or do anything other than just sit and breathe. It's a real treat. I should probably just sit around more and eat Cheetos, because, well, I feel pretty fantastic when I'm doing that. Especially if I'm watching reality tv.

Apparently, the round ligaments (RL) surrounding my uterus are causing me so much pain (P) because as the uterus grows, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. I'm all for building a nice little nest in there for Baby S, but this is getting to be a real pain in the abdomen. (Totally weak attempt at humor due to RLP distress. Obviously. I'll do better next time.)
