Hi,

I am 22 weeks and carrying twins they are normal sized for 2x22 weeks and in the past week or two I have been experiencing a new level of pain in the pelvic region.

Sometimes it is a burning muscular pain and more recently it feels like my pelvic bones are being prized apart.
I understand about relaxin and how our ligaments stretch but when does discomfort/pain become something you worry about ? I am finding it hard to sit/stand or even lie in one position for more than 10 mins at a time and it seems to get worse as the day goes on.

By 6 pm getting up and down is excrusiating.
I was actually restricted to bed for 12 hrs 2 on 2 days last week due to the pain.
Do I write this pain off as "normal" or do I prompt a visit to the docs?
On a scale of 1-10 it is at least a 6 or 7 .. and panadol does very little to ease it.
Last pregnancy I had some discomfort.. but that was post week 32.. now it is twice as bad and much earlier?

Thanks in advance
