Hospital??

Question

I am having terrible sharp pains when standing or walking, to the point I have to brace myself to stay up. However, when I sit down, it pretty much goes away. Do I go to the hospital?? I don’t think it seems normal to feel so uncomfortable while standing but don’t want to waste a trip to the hospital for no reason. It’s not like they’re contractions.. they are sharp pains in my pelvic area. Please give me some advice!!

Answer

That sounds like beginning contractions with the sharp pains in the pelvic area. I would call the L&D floor or midwife and ask what number rule should you follow. 
My hospital has an advice rule of 4-1-1
If it came on by sneezing or coughing or sudden movements they can possibly be lightening crotch. 
I hope this helps !

Answer

This sounds like my life. My doc says it’s normal

Answer

My hospital lets you call the maternity ward with concerns - perhaps you can do that?

Lightening crotch. Mine has gotten worse to where I feel it while walking. I look like a dork when I go to the store 😂
