I've had really sore hip joints. Sometimes I can't get comfortable enough to sleep. I've tried sleeping with a pillow between my knees but that doesn't seem to help much. The pain comes and goes. My hip joints just ache.

tawny - Friday, Sep 21st
i'm 31 weeks pregnant with my third child with my first prenancy i had to have help getting out of bed or put my legs straight first before i could roll over slowly because my hips would pop and hurt. bad with my second but not as bad. my third i don't have the same pain but costantly on my left hip it feels kind of numb and an ache and when i walk for a longer period of time it pinches and makes me bend and wince in pain

Related: groin, both/either side

By:	dancingdiva
Added:	Dec 23rd 2006
First noticed:	week 18
Seriousness:	Quite bad
Discomfort:	Sharp sort of twanging, stabbing pains down side of lower abdomen/groin that quickly go. Been having them periodically since becoming pregnant, particularly when getting up from sitting or lying down.
Treatment or advice:	Round ligament pain. Normal in pregnancy as the ligaments stretch with the growing uterus. No treatment, just take things a little slower when getting up etc. Could possibly be confused in early pregnancy with pain caused by ectopic pregnancy so should still get checked out by doctor particularly if place of implantation has not been confirmed by a scan and/or any bleeding is present too and if pain is severe or persistant.

Discomfort:	Sharp pain then goes into dull ache that never goes away.
Treatment or advice:	I went to my OB and baby's heartbeat is in the 160s. This is my 3rd baby so he is not sure if it is something or not. He gave me some meds to help me sleep last night. (Slept like I had no kids in the house) Just drinking alot of water and keeping feet up

Hi, I am 13 weeks 5 days. this is my 3rd baby as well and I am having the same pain. I talked to my midwife and she said it is growing pains. Sometimes the pains are so bad I can't stand up straight. My baby's heart rate is in the 160's as well.

I have had the same condition. From around 12 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy I had a pain in my pelvic area so severe I put off telling people I was pregnant as I feared I would miscarry. I walked with my legs together for the next 6 months and could only take baby steps due to the pain. As walking or lying down was painful I liked to sit a lot. My doctor told me it was normal but I didnt experience anything like this the first time around. Later in my pregnancy it got so bad that I would walk with a limp. I went on to have a healthy baby but when the pain didn't go away a year later, I started seeing a chiropractor. I was advised that I had been(and still was) suffering from an inflammed pelvic bone. the condition is called Osteitis Pubis and is generally found in football players. Something keeps inflamming the area and pelvic floor exercises and putting an ice pack on the pelvic bone (under your stomach, not between your legs) does help. Hope this helps someone because I wish I had known (and managed) the condition during my pregnancy....

I am 14 weeks along now and have had ligaments pulling and pelvic pressure, i fee like I need to sit down with my feet up so the baby won't fall out! I find that if I eat light weight high calorie foods it helps because it takes weight off my uterus.

Nicole - Sunday, Aug 19th
I have been having this problem also for about the last 5 weeks or so. My Doc. tells me its normal also, that its your hips becoming dilocated getting ready for the baby to come out. All I know is that it hurts like crazy!! My tail bone pops all night when I change positions, or get out of the bed. Its loud and painful!! Doing normal things seem to set it off also, like sweeping or vac. I feel all of yours pain..

Mellisa - Monday, Jul 23rd
I have pain in my lower pelvic area, like under my abdomen. It's really hurt, and sometimes it feels like it's going to drop. I am 5weeks old, and it seems that it's normal, cause others are havinf the same systom, but can someone tell me how to deal with it?

paris - Friday, Jun 22nd
Do any of you feel this pain when you sneeze and its a sudden ache?

julicord - Monday, Jun 11th
I have the same discomfort on my left side, it hurts bad. i do the pillow thing and it seems to give me some support. Doctor said it was ligament pain or that my uterus is growing.

amber - Saturday, Jun 9th
sounds like you should ask your doctor about symphis disfuntion. I have it through three pregnancies, and its possible to get a support belt/treatment. This can get very painful and its really important to try and get help soon as otherwise it will get worse.

KamishaD - Tuesday, Jun 5th
I was just reading about the pain some of us are having in the pelvic area. I think I have it as worse as it can get, my pelvic bone pops! It has been doing that since I was 8wks pregnant. Sometimes it gets sooooo bad that I can't walk. When I was pregnant with my youngest son in 2005 I had to crawl up the stairs in my house because of the pain. The doctor told me that I needed to stay on the lower level of my house and stop sleeping up stairs. But now, it's the same old thing PAIN!!!

Kathryn - Tuesday, Jun 5th
Yes, to all... especially on left hand side. I have bought a body pillow and lie up against that with one leg up on it. It is somewhat comforting. I have also been told it is the major ligament stretching but it's scary and I worry that it's the placenta coming away or something, although I'm getting used to it. I find some comfort reading that you have all experienced the same thing and are far more progressed in the pregnancy than I am. I just read a similar comment about the same kind of pain as well, so we're definitely not alone!

kim - Wednesday, May 23rd
iam am 38 weeks pregnant and i have been experiencing this the whole pregnancy too. every time i ask a doctor, he/she says it's normal, but can't tell me why. yes, also mine is worse when i am getting up &/or out of bed. it actualy feels like my pelvis is broken.

April - Tuesday, May 22nd
I am in week 11 and I am having the left side pain as well. It flares up really bad at night when my bladder is full. Sometimes it can be so sharp it can put into tears and then most of the time there's just alot of pressure and aching. I got so worried at 8 weeks that I actually went into the doctor and he sd it was just ligament pain...it only lasted that day but this time around at 11 weeks ..it lasted for 5 days..I was almost about to go the doctor again but i refrained...

Diana - Tuesday, May 22nd
I've experienced it too. I notice it more when I try to get out of bed. This feels different than the round ligament pain. I've actually described it like an adult...not a baby...has kicked me in that area. I'm 37 weeks w/twins and have been experiencing for about 3-4 weeks.

LEAH - Monday, May 21st
I THINK THAT I HAVE THIS TOO! IT'S ALSO REALLY BAD IN MY HIPS. MY DOCTOR SAID THAT I PULLED MY GROIN, BUT YOU'D THINK THAT I PULLED MUSCLE WOULD HEAL AND GET BETTER WITH TIME. MINE SEEMS TO FLARE UP THE MORE ACTIVITY THAT I DO AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE GOING AWAY!

Isis - Sunday, May 13th
I am going through this too, I am not sure wha tto do about it, but it is good to know that We are not alone in this pain, especially inthe left side, I work in food service and am moving around for 8 1/2 hours daily and was worried that it was caused by all the moving.

It could be sciatica my mom had it with my sister and it literally knocked her feet out from under her! It is normal she said that the sciatic nerve was being compressed or something but I would ask you doctor just to be sure

sounds just like round ligament pain! OB says take Tylenol if it's particularly bad, or use a heating pad. Hope you feel better :)

same here only i've had the sharp pains since i believe the 3rd week of pregnancy...i'm now 27 weeks. i just lay down and apply a small amount of pressure to the area and it goes away, or i just squat until it goes away.

Mynameisellie - Wednesday 14 May 2008
Weird! I noticed the same pain over the weekend. It's on my left ovary too, at least it feels that way. I got a little nervous, because you read that any sharp pain on one side or the other isn't good.

I've been experiencing this same thing for the last 2 weeks or so. (I'm 25 weeks) Sometimes it's unbearable, other times it's a mild discomfort. Anyone know what it is?

Oh my goodness, the pain on my right side is nearing unbearable. It feels like a very bad stitch, or like something inside is swollen and bruised. I cannot make any sudden movements and sleeping and eating are limited. This cant go on for the next 10 weeks....

I am 5 weeks pregnant and have also been having an annoying ache in my left side. This is my first pregnancy and I am concerned that it may be ectopic (although it is comforting to read that lots of women seem to have similar aches and pains). I have a doctors appointment in 2 days and will be discussing it then!

Added:	Thursday 1 October 2009
First noticed:	week 4
Seriousness:	Quite bad
Discomfort:	I had horrible pain in that one spot. I could have pointed to the exact spot if I could have reached through my body. Very achy. Almost like a stabbing pain. They did a vaginal ultrasound and that hurt so bad. It was horrible pain. The pain has subsided more and more every day for the past week. It wasn't unbearable to the point of passing out, but it was pretty horrific.
Treatment or advice:	My doctor told me it is varicose veins in my uterus. Strange, huh?

Treatment or advice:	Fiber in power form, raw veggies, green tea,lots and lots of water, if this dosent work then you get to have all kinds of fun at the hospital, and i wont even go there you can only imagine what they do to unstop you

Treatment or advice:	Had an u/s and everything checked out ok. Still get it all the time, only on the left side. Got no explanation, didn't actually see the doctor, they just wanted me to get checked for an ectopic. Since everything looked ok, they sent me home.
