Lower Left Side Cramps in Pregnancy: Causes & Relief

Question

Answer
Many women experience round ligament pain during pregnancy, and it feels like a sharp pain on either side of the lower belly.
To relieve round ligament pain, do a 'hip hiker.'
Stand next to a counter or wall with your painful side outward.
Lift you foot on the painful side off the floor, and place your opposite hand on the countertop or wall for balance.
Then lift your hip upward on the painful side. Think of pulling your hip bone closer to your armpit on that side.
This movement will take the pressure off of the round ligament and immediately relieves round ligament pain.
