What causes pain in the pelvic area during pregnancy?
Im in my 5th month and lately theres this dull ache near my pelvis, esp when i get up or turn in bed. Doesnt feel like cramps exactly, more like pressure. Just want to understand why this happens. anyone else felt this?
I keep getting this dull ache near my pelvis and it scared me first. Did others feel like a pulling sensation when turning in bed? My gynac said its the ligaments but I wanted to know if same here for u all.
My doctor said as the uterus grows the ligaments stretch and the joints loosen because of hormones, so pelvic pressure and pain is common. She told me a support belt and not standing too long would help. It got better when I rested more.
Some gentle prenatal stretches that my doctor approved really eased my pelvic pain. Don't try random youtube exercises though, get them cleared first. Slow walks also helped me.
Totally normal in most cases, baby is growing and pressing down na. Warm not hot water bath and a pillow between knees while sleeping helped me a lot. But if pain is sharp or with bleeding, call gynac immediately.
