Pelvic girdle pain?

Question

I think I might have a slight case of PGP, it hurts bad in my pelvic area and my lower back, even my hips hurt but mainly while laying down. The pelvic pain just started about 4 days ago and it hurts when I turn over in bed or if I squeeze my thighs together and sometimes while doing house work or walking around. Do you think this is pelvic girdle pain? I don't have a appt for a while but was thinking of emailing my doctor and seeing what she says. I'm 27+5 weeks

Answer

Yes exactly pelvic girdle pain.  I've had it since about 15 weeks and I can't stand it.  Pretty common though.

Answer

Sounds like it.  I had it with my second pregnancy.

Answer

I had it bad with my first pregnancy. During the last month, I could only walk for 30 minutes and then I would have to lay down for the rest of the day cuz the pain was intense! My doctor didn't believe me about my level of pain though.. -_- so I suffered through.

This time around, it's started earlier and I've asked my new doctor about it and she said there's really nothing you can do for it. 
She did recommend light stretching and sleeping with a thick-ish pillow between my legs. She also said I could try a belly lifting band thing so once I get bigger, I'll probably grab one of those.
