I'm in my second trimester, and my pubic bone has started to hurt quite a lot. Why does the pubic bone hurt during pregnancy, and is there anything I can do for relief? It's becoming uncomfortable.
I had severe pubic bone pain in my third trimester and found that sleeping with a pillow between my knees helped. But I am not a doctor, so please ask your gynac if the pain gets too severe.
Your body is beautifully changing to make space for the baby, so some pain is natural. Keep your mind calm, rest well, and consult your doctor to ensure everything is safe.
This pain can be due to pelvic girdle pain as the body expands, but please check with your gynac. It is always better to get their safety advice instead of guessing.
I had this pubic pain too, it's quite common but can be very uncomfortable. Just take it slow, don't push yourself, and let your gynac know at your next visit.
It's usually the pelvic joint stretching to prepare for delivery, but talk to your doctor. If they allow, light pelvic tilts or gentle butterfly stretches can help relieve the pressure.
Around the 6th month, I felt this awful shooting pain in my pubic bone and it made me cry. My doctor told me it's just the hormone relaxin loosening my ligaments, but please tell your doctor if it hurts too much.
