Getting this dull pain down in the pelvic area since few days, comes and goes. Im 22 weeks. Just want to understand whats causing it, planning to ask my doc also but anyone else had this?
Your pelvic bones are just preparing for delivery, which causes that mild aching. Doing light stretching and sitting on a birthing ball helped me immensely. Just be sure to mention it to your doctor at your next visit.
When I had pelvic pain, my mother told me it was because the baby was shifting down. Rest as much as you can and use a warm pillow. But please tell your doctor if the pain is too strong.
Mild pelvic pain is usually just round ligament pain or your body expanding to make space. But if the pain is sharp, severe, or you see any spotting, don't sit on it—call your gynac immediately.
Carrying twins meant constant pelvic pressure, felt like my hips were widening by the hour! It's usually just your ligaments stretching. But if it's sharp or painful to walk, please get it checked by your gynac.
Pelvic pain is quite common as the joints and muscles relax to support the baby's weight. Try pelvic tilts and sleep with a pillow between your legs. However, if the pain is severe or accompanied by fever, check with your doctor.
