You may need a pelvic belt or strap to help support your pelvic joints for the next few weeks. Get your doctor to refer you for one - usually a chartered physio will have them.
It should ease after you have your baby.

sounds like ligament pain to me, i am suffering from this, have been for over a month now and it is so painful to even move sometimes, let a lone walk! The thing i find helps me is having your legs up whenever possible, and when getting up off your bed or a chair etc, move both legs around together and have them straight on the ground before you try and put any pressure on your legs. If it hurts when you get up, just take it slowly. Unfortunately i was told there isn't a great deal you can do except don't lift anything heavy at all, and take it easy if possible. It might get better, it might stay how it is. That's pregnancy for you......i never had it with my first pregnancy either. This has been a really hard pregnancy to cope with. Come on Feb 29th!........

It sounds like sciatica. I had it...especially at the end of the day after I'd been on my feet all day. Try getting on all fours and rounding your back or cat stretching for a little bit. Also, try lying on a very firm mattress or even the floor on your side (sometimes it helps if I laid ON the leg with the pain, other times the opposite...I don't know why). This next move may be more difficult, and you may need someone's help to do it, but it helps. Bend your leg at the knee, pull it up toward your chest/belly, and pull/push your knee toward the opposite side. It sounds harder than it is - it's basically just a stretch, but if you can't get a hold of your knee, someone can do it for you. Good luck; if it's any consolation, mine went completely away about a month after it started.

This is normal part of pregnancy. Your pelvis is stretching and expanding to accomodate the baby. I remember walking and hearing clicking sounds and having the pain, or when I layed down for periods of time. I never took anything for this, but if you cannot tolerate it, then I suggest talking to your doctor about taking Tylenol, or something to relieve it. I would soak in some warm water, not too hot though. And try walking, if you sit too long, it could make it hurt worse. Good luck!

Me too!!!! worse in the morning and when turning in bed? try lying with a pillow between legs when in bed and pulling in pelvic floor muscles when moving. You could also try a support belt. All it is, is the muscles and ligaments softening in preparation for labour, it is awful though I can empathise fully!! Not long to go pet, stick it out, I know that by this stage the joy of being pregnant is beginning to wear off and all you want is to meet your baby, these discomforts just do not help do they?
Take care and rest. Good luck!

You need the pelvic belt from antenatal clinic - it's like a huge tubigrip, not comfortable but some support.
See about being induced earlier - they did me at 39 weeks with second baby.
Lots of warm baths, as little walking as you have to do, get help with ironing and anything like that.
Will go once you've had baby

I'm assuming that this is your first pregnancy because that happened to me when I was in my 7th 87h and 9th month. It's your lower bones spreading out to make room for the baby to come down the birth canal. It's normal. I took some tylenol and and tried to walk it off. I think the walking helped to open up my hip and push forward my pelvic bone. Just to be safe...do talk to you doctor also. CONGRATS TOO ON A NEW BABY!

in my last pregnancy i had the same sort of pain , i wore an elasticated support that went around my middle, just under bump ! It then supported bump & took pressure off pelvis.
Good Luck

It sounds like a pinched sciatic nerve. See your doctor, who can prescribe a pain reliver that is safe to take. My doctor put me on Vicodin and it worked great! I also delivered a very healthy baby boy in May, so no harm done!

Sounds like SPD.
See your doctor - they can give you some pain releif and also some advice on how to ease it, I was given a leaflet about it at ante natal class yesterday. It seems to have to try and "take it easy" as much as possible.
