Aches & Pains Galore!

Is anyone else having Symphysis Pubis pain? It's like right about my lady hairline and only hurts every now again, but it's quite painful when it does? And there's that on top of my incredibly painful sciatic nerve pain. I just keep telling myself baby boy is so worth it. And then he kicks and I know he already is. But just curious if anyone else has this going on?

I'm sorry for the aches and pains. I think I'm having SPD issues. For me the pain is right where my right thigh meets my crotch, and it causes me to limp and hobble when it's acting up. Some days it's not bad and other days I have trouble walking. I had some aches during my first pregnancy, but they weren't as strong and they came months later than this.

I tend to be fairly chill about it--as long as baby's happy and healthy I can live with the pain. I'll go out and limp around town with my son. It actually sometimes flares up if I try to rest for too long, anyway. Feel better soon! I think there are some exercises you can do... worth asking at your next appointment.

Same thing as PP. I have it in my crotch area but it's also spread to my hips and lower back so it's pretty terrible. It does feel like sciatic pain but I think it's being created by my pelvis being out of whack. I am calling my chiro tomorrow to start with visits. With DS, I didn't have any pain until about 7 months along, when my sciatica really flared up. The chiro took care of it and by 8.5 months I no longer needed to go see him and was fine the rest of pregnancy. Now I'm only 5 months and feeling like I should be much further along due to all the aches and pains. Really hoping the rest of the time flies by! 

I hope you feel a lot better. I second asking your doctor if there are any exercises or anything you can do to relieve the pain. I know I'll be asking mine.
