'Pubic' bone pain

[Emitob]

Hi - I am 18 weeks along and am having a lot of pain in the 'pubic bone' area - not sure if that is what it is actually called. I did a LOT of walking over the weekend, and ever since then, I have so much pain there that walking is a bit difficult. I remember feeling this sort of pain when I was heavily pregnant with my first child, but not this early on. Does anyone else have this, or have any suggestions? Should I call my ob and get it checked?

Hi Emitob. So sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I am experiencing the same thing.There is a thread discussing it here

Depends on the pain, but do some searches on Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction and Pelvic Girdle Pain. There are lots of threads around here about it too.
