pregnancy and pain?

Question

Is there any other women out there who experiences sunificant pain in the groin/lower back (tail bone) area? What causes it? It's so bad now, I can't even get up or roll over in bed with out assistance

Answer 1

Yes, I do, this is my second pregnancy and they told me that it would be more painful this time around as it usually is with subsequent pregnancies.

Here's an artical for you to read:
http://www.plus-size-pregnancy.org/pubicpain.htm

It has all the information regarding pubic pain and how to cope with it since there is nothing we can do to cure it until the baby is born.

Answer 2

I had it so bad I thought I was going to die. And to top it off I was on bed rest for 6 months of my pregnancy. Walking helps. But it is because everything is stretching to make room for baby. Get a body pillow and sleep with it between your legs it helps a little.
good luck. If the pain is unbearable talk to your doctor about taking some baby Tylenol
Congrats.

Answer 3

hi i had symptoms like yours and was diagnosed with the condition split symphysis pubis. it is where the pelvis pulls itself apart during pregnancy. i had to have physio and i also had to wear a support belt made from elastic and Velcro. it was about 45 cm wide and about a meter long that i had to wrap around my bump at the bottom and the small of my back. i don't know for sure if what you have is thesame, but i'd definatley talk with your doctor about it because it only gets worse as the pregnancy goes on. mine started when i was 24 weeks pregnant and i got to the point where i could bearly walk because it was so painful.
i wish you all the best and good luck.

i had severe back pains during pregnancy , my only signs except for the tummy of course. i was told that the baby was settled more in my bach rather than tummy so my tummy was relatively small.

i had horrible back pain during labour and back pains for about 3 months after.

sorry to tell you all that but be prepared.

Just lay back as much as you can and relax as often as you can. the joys after delivery makes it all worth it.

and for whatever reason, my labour (the hard pains) was only 2-1/2hrs long so hope the same happen to you.

i hope you don't have long to go.

you can prob have someone massage it with muscel rub nightly that worked for some time for me. a little relieve is better than none. take no oral med unless prescribed though.

Answer 5

Your body is changing, things are adjusting and the baby you are carrying gets heavier and heavier. This complaint is very common, epecially the further along you get.

What causes this? Ligaments stretching, your pelvis getting ready for birth and the baby getting bigger and in position to come out.

Answer 6

depending on how far along in the pregnancy you are, in month 7-9 it could be your pelvis separating, or maybe if your built very small, it all stretches. welcome to motherhood!!!!!!!! get used to the pains, definitely talk to your doctor, but its probably just your body getting ready. mother nature has her way. with my 3rd, i thought she was going to push her foot out of me. that lasted the whole 9th month. i would hold myself down there trying to give support. the body goes through some weird things, just let your doctor know and maybe get one of the birthing books to reassure yourself. good luck

Answer 7

I had the same thing when I was pregnant- and it was because the baby was lower in my abdomen, putting pressure on a nerve. Talk to your doctor to see if there is anything he/she reccomends you do to to help relieviate that discomfort.

Answer 8

It sounds like labour pains to me they or that the baby is moved into the birth position!
I dont ever recall experiencing this type of discomfort!
how many months are you email me to tell me and congratualtions to you& your family

Answer 9

My friend had pretty bad pain, because her son was laying extremely low. Her pelvic bone was splitting. Call your doctor.

Answer 10

Yep, your connective tissue is stretching out and frankly, pregnancy is just uncomfortable. Try prenatal yoga if your doctor checks you out and gives you the green light.
