2nd Trimester

Pain between my legs!

I’m 17 weeks along and have this awful pain between my legs. Hurts to walk, especially when I wake up in the morning. It’s not round ligament as it’s more in the groin area. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Talk to your doctor, or call your nurses line if it's very uncomfortable.  Not sure what to say, besides that.
  • If it’s pelvic pain, that’s pretty common during pregnancy (assuming you aren’t having any other symptoms like bleeding) since all your ligaments are stretching and such. It is worth bringing up to your OB to make sure there’s nothing wrong and seeing if they have recommendations for exercises etc that could help

  • Sounds like pain from symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). I would still recommend discussing with your OB, but groin pain is a pretty common sign. 

    My whole pelvic girdle hurts from 2nd tri on and sort of alternates from the groin to the SI joints and lower back. 

    Try not to do too much lifting, try to keep your legs together when getting in and out of bed, car, etc. Easier said than done, but this may help. A support belt as you get bigger is helpful to offload the weight of your belly on your pelvis. 
  • Sounds like it could be SPD as a PP mentioned. Talk to your doctor and ask for a physical therapy referral. Pelvic floor PT will help!
