I am 35 weeks and for the last few days I have been getting really bad pain up high in my right leg. It hurts so bad I feel like my pelvis or something up that high is broken. Anyone else experience this? What did they say it was?

mariettap - 1005 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) When the baby's head begins descend lower into the pelvis to get ready for the big move, it can put pressure on the hip joint. Sometimes it presses against a nerve, which will cause shooting pains down the leg, and sometimes it just shifts the hip into a bad position in the joint. It's temporary. When you can, rest on your side and prop your hip with a LOT of pillows to ease the pressure on the joint. Try a little yoga/stretching. If you can afford it, a massage by a massage therapist that is certified in prenatal massage can give you relief. My midwives often send their OB patients to a chiropractor for this problem--Do ask your OB or midwife about that.
