Major pain

Is anyone else having random sharp pains in the left side of their vagina and left groin?

It isn't isolated to the left side ,but yes -- groin / pelvis / vaginal pain when standing, taking steps, rolling over in bed, getting up off sofa / out of bed, etc. I am told this is very very normal.

I had this for awhile, but mine stopped! DR said it's normal separation of the pelvic bones

Okay! I'm glad to know its normal! It's pretty miserable though. I called my OB and she suggested a belly band to help ease the weight of the baby on my pelvis, have you guys tried that?

My doc suggested a maternity belt, which I think is probably the same thing, but I haven't had a chance to pick one up yet.

Yes that is what my OB suggested! I went to babies r us and they only have size s/m and I'm a plus size mama, I need a size large lol so I have to order it online. But I did splurge on new maternity pants and a wonderful body pillow to try to ease the pain at night!

Motherhood Maternity has plus size maternity belts for $20. I bought one but it didn't offer much relief. I have found a homemade rice heating pad (tube sock filled with rice and heated in the microwave) has been the only thing to offer relief.

My goodness do I relate to this! Since I was 23 weeks I have been having "ECP" or Extreme Crotch Pain as I have known many to call it... my dr keeps saying it is my pelvis opening up and sometimes it gets so bad it goes down my thighs. I ordered a maternity belt from Amazon and it is a great help BUT it is hard to cover up with clothes and you cannot sit or lay down in it because it is very tight. I use it when I am walking around, doing house work, or running quick errands. My dr actually recommended going to aboutbabiesinc.com and ordering some other versions of the belts if I was too uncomfortable. I know it is miserable! Hang in there!
