Has anyone else been experiencing this? Is it normal?

Question

Hey mamas! I’m almost 28 weeks and I have had pain in my inner thighs into my vaginal area for the past month or so. It’s been much more noticeable the past week. It mostly hurts anytime I stand up or get out of bed, or roll over in bed. It kind of feels like muscle pain. Has anyone else had this? What’s causing it? Is it something I should talk to my doctor about? 
Thanks!

Answer

Yes! My doctor said I have Symphesis pubic dysfunction. When the hormone relaxin is too much too early and your muscles and bones are separating and softening to prepare for delivery. She told me it was fine but it’s probably just going to get worse until after delivery. Ive had this since around 22 weeks I believe. Don’t cross your legs and try to avoid stairs keeping your legs side by side as much as possible. It’s gotten a lot worse so far for me but I can only tone it down so much since I have two other kids I’m with all day. I’ll be entering my 29th week tomorrow

Answer

I’ve had that pain for almost a week. But it also hurts my lower back and sometimes my hips. It could be the weight of the baby, or could be pelvic girdle pain(which I’m pretty sure that’s what mine is), could just be stretching and growing. Oh the joys of pregnancy! I didn’t have any of this stuff with my first...🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I also have SPD and it’s a pain, literally. Been feeling it since 20ish weeks and I’m almost 26 weeks now. I’ve noticed that sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps A LOT.

Answer

This sounds exactly like SPD.  And it suuuucks so much.  But it’s not dangerous which is a blessing.

Answer

Me I’ve had that pain since about 25 weeks I’m 27 weeks right now it’s been getting worse 😟

Answer

Yes! Sometimes I’ll feel fine, but then it will feel like I’ve pulled this muscle mid-stride. Sitting for a minute helps, but it is sore most of the time at this point...
