Pelvic pain??

Question

For the past week or so when I lay down to get ready for bed I wake up with extreme pelvic pain but it’s like in front like between my legs, and constantly hurts and aches. It kinda feels like when you first get up to walk after you give birth. I’ll be 24 weeks on Wednesday. With my first pregnancy I didn’t have this kind of pain and discomfort till the very end/ after delivery. What could this mean???

Answer

It means your muscles and joints have stretched and relaxed a bit and with that extra weight from baby/placenta/uterus are probably just causing discomfort. I have it really really bad and am terrified to even fall asleep bc I know when i need to make 4 bathroom trips at night, its going to feel like my pelvic is shattering and it grinds together, making getting out of bed a horrible experience. I started getting these pains at about 22 weeks and its gotten nothing but worse from there. Its SPD. Try to sleep as if your laying in a hospital bed propped up. Or get you a bunch of pillows or pregnancy pillow to place in-between your legs and under your growing belly to get some relief while sleeping. Pelvic floor exercises you can find on youtube. Drink plenty of water and dont do anything too strenuous it will make it worse. Keep your legs together when getting out of the car or getting up. Your half way through it! I have to slowly roll from my side to a partial belly position and slide myself out of bed with my legs together instead of sitting straight up or you'll get that instantly painful pulling sensation. Not much you can do other than get through it. Should return to normal after baby is born.

Answer

I have had that for most of my pregnancy. I am now 34 weeks and am in agony.
