Is this normal?

Question

Okay I'm not sure if this is something I need to suck up or go to the hospital for, I'm 19 weeks 5 days, and I'm feeling a lot of pain worse than normal in my pelvis/ upper vag area, I'm a server and I just finished a shift and I literally waddled like a duck to my car I was in so much pain. Is this just stretching or should I seek medical attention?

Answer

If it's that bad, go see your doc. Usually pain around this time is ligament pain from your belly/uterus/etc expanding. BraxtonHicks contractions suck, but those usually happen a little later. Though at 21 weeks, I'm having them off and on, so apparently it happens. (Scared the poo out of me - I thought something was horribly wrong). Just stay calm, momma. It's probably nothing major, but go in to check. 🙂

I'm having very bad pelvic bone pain. It feels like a really bad muscle strain right above my "vag" haha. I'm 19 weeks and just started having this pain about 4 or 5 days ago. It's annoying as hell. I think as long as you're not running a fever, bleeding or just all around miserable feeling you should be ok. It never hurts to check in with your doctor though. When I was having terrible pains one day my doctor told me to take some Tylenol and if it didn't ease the pain in 45 minutes that it was best to visit the ER.

Put your feet up and call Dr.

I have the same pain it's so bad I always tell my mom I feel like my vagina bone is breaking lol I also am a server and waddle like crazy when it's really bad. And if I even try to run its impossible lol

Answer

It's normal, as long as it feels like it's external (in the muscles and ligaments)- as you ligaments loosen to prepare for birth, your muscles have to exert more effort to "pick up the slack."
My pain started about 2 weeks ago.... I'll also say that if you live where there's snow, walking in the snow/on ice makes it worse (because your muscles have to put out *that* much more effort to keep you stable while walking).

Answer

I just had this and it was a bad uti :( call your doc and he can help you out with it

Answer

I have that - I asked my doctor and he said the baby is low and is putting pressure on it causing it to hurt. He suggested a belly belt/band/support thing.

Answer
