Pregnant runners: do you get pelvic pain after running?

Question

If yes, when did it start, and did you change anything to help reduce the pain? 
Running was fine through first trimester but around 19w I started feeling the pain after running. 
I'm hoping to keep running through most of my pregnancy if possible, but I don't want to cause an injury either! Thank you ladies!

Answer

I’m not really a runner but very active (I do orangetheory fitness as a power walker). I’ve found that using a belly band for support when walking/jogging is crucial at helping with any pain

Answer

I don’t run, but this pregnancy I get pelvic pain from anything strenuous. 
I generally do strength training and I’ve had to shelf it already and I’m only 17.5 weeks. 
 I had a massive flare up yesterday from swimming with my toddler, I’m hoping it’s just a phase in pregnancy because I don’t like it I never got it with my first 😅😅
 But I feel it improves with a magnesium bath and some stretching on the floor

Answer

With both my pregnancies I had to stop running in the 2nd trimester due to pelvic pain. It stinks but I could tolerate other exercises so much better and it wasn’t worth the discomfort for me. I was fine running postpartum without issue which may be reassuring!
