Pain in groin/pubic region?

[belle75]

I'm 17.5wks and for the last few days have been getting pain in the lower abdomen and pubic area? The lower abdomen pain is dull and constant like period pain. There is a "sharper" pain in the groin (vaginal area) which is worse when I walk. A bit like my bones are pushing into my buttocks??? Sitting down seems to relieve it. I went for a long walk a couple of days ago then did a lot of cleaning at home yesterday. Could this have contributed? Has anyone else experienced this?

Just wanted to add - the pain is like I've been riding a bike/horseriding too long!

Hi Belle

There is so many weird and wonderful (well, not so much wonderful) pains that come and go during pregnancy. I think I know the pain you're talking about (pain in your hips/bum bones) and believe it is all normal but overdoing it can make it worse. I believe the pelvic bones move and seperate during pregnancy to make way for the baby to come out easier so I think this is what it could be. I dont think I started getting it until about 25 weeks but every pregnancy is different.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and hope the pain doesnt get any worse for you. Warm baths should ease some of your discomfort.

talk to your care provider about it, they should be able to tell you if its anyting out of the norm.

Thanks for your replies girls. Didn't want to call the ob in case it's 'normal'

I have EXACTLY the same thing and I had it with DS too.

I wouldn't worry Belle. Hopefully it will stop soon. I just put it down to "stuff" stretching.
