Should I mention this to my doctor?

Question

I’m 37 weeks and I’ve been getting excruciating pelvic pain. It hurts even worse when I sneeze or cough or walk and sometimes it hurts too bad to even move. It takes me about 20 minutes sometimes to get up because of how bad it hurts. I’ve asked some of my sisters and friends who have had kids and they said they didn’t experience it should I let my doctor know or don’t waste her time with it?

Answer

Always voice your concerns with your doctor. It’s normal to have pelvic pain towards the end though. I had it really bad with my second daughter and not so bad with my son.

Answer

It’s called symphysis pubis dysfunction, totally normal during pregnancy and can get worse towards the end bc of the weight of the baby. I’ve had it since about 20 weeks and I sleep with a pillow in between my legs and whenever I get out of bed I try to keep my legs together and whenever I get dressed I make sure I am sitting down it hurts a lot less. It does however go away the day your baby is born. Hang in there mama.

Answer

I thought it was just me...I’m 38 weeks and I’m pretty much going thru the exact same thing...did call my nurse and was told to sit in hot bath or use warm compress on hips and pelvis area...then if after a hr nothing helps even take Tylenol if need be, if nothing helps then go into hospital! Luckily the warm bath did help until it wore off during the night 😫so I’m trying to hold out until Monday when my appt is, but I think this is definitely my last week being pregnant, I think Monday with be D day...my body is just not holding it together anymore!! But Good Luck to you honey & hope you have a safe delivery!!! ✨✨✨

Answer

It doesn’t hurt to call the nurse. That’s their job and it might be something serious.
