I'm 39 weeks pregnant and experiencing a good deal of pain in the area connecting my leg and butt. It's usually, and mostly severely, on the right side, but sometimes it is less painfully so on my left side as well. The pain has been rather intense for the past couple of weeks, but it seems as if it's been gradually building up for a month and a half. It feels almost muscular, as it seems that sitting for any period of time makes it more painful when I do start moving again. It's worst when I'm sleeping and I try to change positions, so bad that it takes me minutes to roll over and any movement I make involves me lifting my legs up with my own hands or gripping the poles on my bed for extra help, meanwhile I'm almost in tears from pain and frustration. I expected that my stomach would be causing all the trouble, not my legs!
My question is, is this normal? I know pregnancy causes strain on the body, but this just seems like too much.
